Documentation checklist
What to look for on supplier pages
For Paterson listings, check supplier policy clarity first, documentation-request and replacement terms specifically, then work through COA access, batch details, and research-use labeling.
- COA references should be easy to find, readable, and tied to a specific batch rather than a general testing claim.
- Batch-testing language is strongest when it connects a batch identifier to a current, independently hosted lab document.
- Shipping language should explain dispatch timing and carrier visibility without making unverifiable speed or quality claims.
- Research-use labeling should stay consistent across the supplier's directory listing, profile page, and policy pages.
