Product Documentation Checklist
Last reviewed: · Published by FRIDERM Pro (Jinan Xilemei Import and Export Co., Ltd.)
For importers screening a new supplier
Direct answer: This page is a list of what to ask any supplier for — it is not a showcase of FRIDERM Pro's own certificates. We currently have no certifications on file to publish, and we say so plainly rather than imply otherwise; use this checklist with us and with any other supplier you evaluate.
Documents worth asking for, and what each one actually proves
| Document | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Certificate of Analysis (CoA) | Batch-specific test results against a defined specification — tied to a specific batch, not a general product guarantee |
| Instructions for Use (IFU) | Manufacturer-issued usage and handling information for the specific product and market version |
| Label / artwork proof | Confirms exact label text and language per market — compare against the physical product you receive |
| Registration / free-sale documentation | Evidence of market-specific regulatory status — must be checked for your exact destination country, not assumed from another market |
| Quality system certification (e.g. ISO-type) | Describes the manufacturer's quality management system — it is not itself a product-specific approval |
A scanned certificate image does not, by itself, prove it is currently valid, unexpired, or genuinely issued to the entity presenting it. Ask for a way to verify authenticity (issuing body contact, registration number lookup, or a signed cover letter) rather than accepting a scan at face value.
Red flags when screening a supplier
- A certificate with no visible issuing body, date, or scope — unable to tell what it actually certifies
- Reluctance to provide a batch-specific CoA for the exact SKU you are ordering
- Registration documentation presented for a different country than your target market
- Marketing claims that go further than the documentation actually supports
FRIDERM Pro's approach: we do not publish certificate badges, client logos or case studies that we cannot back with a current document for your specific SKU and market. If you need a specific document for your target market, ask via the enquiry form and we will confirm what is currently available or being prepared.
FAQ
What's the difference between a CoA, an IFU, a label proof and a registration document?
A CoA is batch-specific test data; an IFU is usage/handling information; a label proof confirms exact market-specific label text; a registration document evidences regulatory status in a specific country. Each answers a different question — request the one that actually answers yours.
Does a certification scan prove it's currently valid?
No — a scan alone doesn't confirm current validity or authenticity. Ask for a verification method (issuing body contact or registration lookup) alongside the document.
What certifications does FRIDERM Pro currently have published?
We do not publish blanket certification badges. Documents are issued per SKU and per market — ask via the enquiry form for the current status of any specific document.
