Certified Laboratories Achieves Amazon Recognition as TIC for Dietary Supplements

Certified Laboratories Approved as Amazon TIC for Dietary Supplements

Certified Laboratories, a leading company under the Certified Group umbrella, has received official recognition as an approved Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) organization by Amazon. This significant designation allows Certified Laboratories to perform crucial laboratory testing and to verify current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) documentation for dietary supplements. This compliance is vital as Amazon enforces updated policies starting in 2026.

Importance of Compliance with cGMP

Under the new regulations, all dietary supplements listed on Amazon must be produced in facilities that adhere to the FDA's 21 CFR 111 or 117 cGMP regulations. These measures are put in place to ensure that products meet high safety and quality standards, protecting both consumers and brands. Certified Laboratories, with its newly awarded status, is now poised to verify third-party cGMP certifications provided by supplement sellers. This step is crucial for compliance under Amazon’s evolving guidelines.

Todd Shea, the President overseeing Cosmetics, OTC, and Supplements at Certified Laboratories, commented on the significance of this recognition. He stated, "This acknowledgment underpins our unwavering commitment to assisting clients in maintaining compliance in highly regulated sectors. We're enthusiastic about providing testing and verification services that align with Amazon's rigorous quality benchmarks."

Expanding Role in Compliance

With this latest approval, Certified Laboratories reinforces its stronghold as a reliable compliance partner across high-risk consumer product categories. Previously, they also obtained Amazon TIC status for managing skin-lightening and ophthalmic products. David Morgan, CEO of Certified Group, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the expanding scope of Certified Laboratories as an Amazon-approved TIC across various product categories.

This new status not only emphasizes the integrity and scientific accuracy associated with Certified Laboratories but also highlights their role as experts in navigating the complex compliance landscape of Amazon. Acknowledging the company's commitment, Morgan pointed out, "Certified Laboratories is strategically positioned to assist brands as they adapt to Amazon's increasing compliance demands."

Comprehensive Services Offered

In tandem with cGMP laboratory testing, Certified Laboratories expands its service offerings through its Certification Audit business unit and regulatory consulting via the EAS Consulting Group. These services are particularly tailored to help brands align with Amazon's updated supplement policies, ensuring all products meet required standards before reaching consumers.

The acquisition of Amazon's TIC status is a testament to Certified Group’s dedication to providing innovative scientific solutions, which aims to build consumer trust in the products they use. The overarching mission of Certified Group is clear: ensuring that the trust consumers place in the products they consume is well-founded, reflecting their ethos, "So The World Can Trust In What It Consumes™."

Looking Ahead

As the landscape of dietary supplements evolves, the acknowledgment of Certified Laboratories as an Amazon-approved TIC solidifies its place at the forefront of regulatory compliance in the supplement industry. With their extensive experience and commitment to scientific rigor, Certified Laboratories stands ready to face the challenges of a dynamic compliance environment.
