Certificate of analysis for Zimbabwe: what and why
A certificate of analysis (COA) reports the test results for a batch of product against its specification. Regulators and buyers abroad use it to check quality for registration samples, tenders and each consignment. The certificate of analysis is issued by the manufacturer's quality control department or an accredited testing laboratory for a specific batch.
Africa is one of the largest markets for Indian generic medicines, and national regulators generally require legalised COPPs, GMP and free sale certificates for product registration.
In Zimbabwe, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe. Legalised documents from India are typically part of the file for registration samples for regulators, batch release for each shipment and tender quality compliance.
A certificate of analysis issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Zimbabwe in New Delhi.
