Third-Party Testing Disclosure Template: What to Publish Without Overclaiming

Testing transparency is most useful when the disclosure tells readers exactly what was tested and what the result means.

Identify the Tested Item

State whether the sample was raw material, bulk product, finished capsules, or another stage.

Identify the Lot

Include the lot or batch when the disclosure is batch-specific.

Name the Laboratory

If “independent” or “third-party” is claimed, identify the laboratory or verification program where appropriate.

State the Test

Name the analyte or attribute measured, such as identity, potency, oxidation, or a specific contaminant panel.

Show Result and Specification

Present units and the relevant acceptance criterion when it is appropriate to publish them.

Date the Evidence

Testing information can become stale after formula or supplier changes. Include the test date or document date.

Avoid Scope Expansion

A contaminant test does not prove potency; a potency test does not prove freshness. Keep the claim within the measured scope.

Bottom Line

Good testing communication is specific enough that a reader can understand exactly what the evidence covers.
