Lot records
Lot records and certificates
A product name tells you what was ordered. The lot tells you what was supplied. Every released lot is given its own identifier and its own permanent record.
- One permanent record per lot
- Corrections dated, never deleted
- Withdrawn lots stay public

Requesting a record
If a report is missing, or you need the one matching a lot number you already hold, contact us with the identifier printed on the vial.
A certificate reports what was measured in the material submitted. It is not a statement of suitability for any purpose and carries no representation that the material is fit for human or veterinary use.
