12 makers listed — 8 with documented proof
Third-party testing is how a brand proves a finished batch matches its label. These makers publish batch Certificates of Analysis or test finished product through an ISO 17025-accredited lab rather than only their own in-house checks.

Independent batch testing catches what in-house QC cannot: heavy metals, microbial contamination, potency drift, and label claims that do not match contents. It is the strongest per-batch evidence a brand can hold, and increasingly a retailer requirement.
Ask for a recent Certificate of Analysis for a finished batch, not an ingredient spec sheet — and confirm the testing lab is ISO 17025 accredited (check the lab's own accreditation, not a badge on the maker's site). Confirm which tests run per batch: potency, heavy metals, microbiology, and allergen screens are not all equal.
These listings trace to an independent registry entry or a certificate published on the maker's own site. How we grade evidence.
A claim is not a disqualifier — registries are hard to search and legal names rarely match exactly. But it is the gap you should close first. Send proof links and the listing upgrades.
