The three certificates

Numbers, dates and the issuing body

Most contract manufacturers write “GMP certified” and leave it there. Below is everything a buyer or an auditor needs to check that the claim is real: the certificate number, when it was issued, when it expires, who issued it and what exactly it covers.

What each one means

GMP, HACCP and ISO 22000 are not the same thing

GMP is about how the product is made. Ours is certified against the Food Supplements Europe Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice of March 2014 — the sector guide written for food supplements specifically, not a pharmaceutical standard borrowed for the occasion. It covers premises, equipment, personnel, documentation, raw-material control and batch records.

HACCP is about what could go wrong. It is the hazard-analysis system required of every food business in the EU by Regulation (EC) No 852/2004: you identify the points in the process where a hazard can enter, set limits, monitor them and record what you did. Ours is certified, which means an outside body checked the system rather than taking our word for it.

ISO 22000:2018 is about the management system around both of the above — how the factory plans, reviews and improves food safety, and how it works with its own suppliers. It is the one of the three that looks beyond our four walls.

All three are issued by the same body, BM Certification SIA in Riga, which is itself accredited by the Latvian National Accreditation Bureau (LATAK) under EN ISO/IEC 17021-1, registration No. S2-564, and is a member of the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement. That last point is what makes the certificates mean something outside Latvia.

United States

FDA registration — what it is and what it is not

The factory is registered with the US Food and Drug Administration as a food facility. This is a registration, not a certification: the FDA does not certify food supplement manufacturers, and any supplier who tells you they are “FDA certified” is describing something that does not exist. What the registration does mean is that the facility is on the FDA’s register and may ship food products to the United States.

We say this plainly because the difference matters to anyone who has to defend a claim on a label.

EU rules we work to

The regulations behind the certificates

Production complies with the EU framework for food and food supplements, including Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on food information to consumers, Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims, Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 on contaminants and Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials intended to come into contact with food.

Every batch is tested in our own laboratory and released with a Certificate of Analysis. The factory is audited each year both by the certification body and by customers who ask to come and look.

Questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions about our certificates

Which certificates does the factory hold?

Three: GMP No. GMP-FS-01 and HACCP No. HACCP-01, both valid until 17 May 2027, and ISO 22000:2018 No. MSC-22-1384, valid until 7 January 2029. All three were issued by BM Certification SIA in Riga. The factory is also registered with the US FDA as a food facility.

What do the certificates cover?

Manufacturing and packaging of food supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form. That scope is printed on each certificate and you can read it on the scans above.

Who issued them, and is that body recognised outside Latvia?

BM Certification SIA, Riga. It is accredited by LATAK, the Latvian national accreditation body, under EN ISO/IEC 17021-1 with registration number S2-564, and it is a member of the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement — the agreement under which accredited certificates are recognised between countries.

How often are you re-audited?

Every year. The certificates on this page are the current ones.

Can I get a copy for my own regulatory file?

Yes. Ask us and we will send the current signed PDFs. Many brands need them when they notify a product to their national authority.

Does a GMP certificate mean my product is automatically approved?

No. Our certificates cover how we manufacture. Placing a finished supplement on the market is a separate step and it is done by the brand owner, not by the manufacturer — in most EU countries it is a notification to the national food authority. We supply the documentation you need for it, including the Certificate of Analysis for your batch.

Can I come and audit the factory myself?

Yes. Customer audits happen every year alongside the certification audit. Write to us and we will arrange a date.
