Talk:Certificate of analysis

Certificate of Analysis is a much broader term
Certificate of analysis is a common industry term in all food and chemical manufacturing. I'm amazed that it doesn't have an article already but it is not specific to canabinoids. Are there any objections to be extending the scope of this article to cover CoAs more broadly, or do we need to talk about renaming one or both of the articles?

 * Agree. I just noticed exactly the same thing, and was also amazed. A very good idea to broaden. There is mention on page COA, concerning chemicals and drugs. The term is also used in pharmaceuticals, and for reference materials. I am accustomed to seeing the term used for various physical analyses, as well as measurements of composition : specific surface area, particle size distribution, for example.

Incorrect - COA not for only Cannabinoids
As already suggested Certificate of Analysis are not used solely for Cannabinoids. COAs display results of scientific testing done to ensure the quality of Food and Drugs. 137.118.217.45 (talk) 17:42, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Updated beyond cannabis
I updated the article beyond cannabis, as suggested prior by others here. However, there may be just a smidge more room to discuss the use of a COA in certain industries, if anyone wants to add to that. Oh, also having some difficulties with a bot wanting to move footnotes in front of the colon. Separately working on that.
