Our Science
Certification language is used loosely across this category. We have separated what is in place from what is intended, and we will not blur the two.
The context
Independent testing over the past two decades has repeatedly found heavy metals in a meaningful proportion of Ayurvedic samples, and adulteration of high-value herbs is common enough to be assumed rather than suspected.
This is uncomfortable for a company selling Ayurvedic formulations to state on its own quality page. It is also the reason the page needs to exist, and the context in which any testing programme should be read.

Testing programme
Stage matters as much as method. A contaminant screened only at the finished product has already been paid for, blended and packed, and a control that runs once per supplier rather than once per consignment is a control that assumes the thing it is meant to check.
Certifications
We hold none of these yet. Listing them as goals rather than as achievements is the difference between a roadmap and a false claim.
Each row below says which entity the certification would be issued to and what is missing today, because an intention with no condition attached is a plan nobody has costed.

Held by the contracted facility
Awaiting publication
We do not publish the certifications held by the facility that will make our products.
We have not been supplied with copies of the certificates, nobody here has seen one, and a scheme name read off a website is a claim about a document rather than the document.
Each will appear with its issuing body, its certificate number, the site address it is issued against, its scope and its expiry date, once we hold a copy and the facility has agreed to its publication. Even then they remain the facility’s, and they never enter the list above.
The standing claim
We make no claim of compliance with any standard that has not been independently verified. Where this site describes a control, it is describing what we do or what we have committed to do, not a certification we have been awarded and not one held by somebody we buy from.
What we have committed to is narrow and checkable: certificates of analysis published against batch codes, so a customer can look up the specific tub in front of them rather than a representative sample chosen by us. The platform is architected for this. It is not live, because nothing has been manufactured yet.
