Every batch we supply is tested, documented, and certified. From raw material sourcing to final dispatch, our quality process is designed to meet the expectations of regulated markets worldwide.
Global buyers of natural ingredients face a fundamental challenge: the gap between what a supplier claims and what a batch actually contains. At SV Botanica, we address this directly — every product we supply is backed by a batch-specific documentation package, and we do not ship without it.
Our supply chain operates exclusively through GMP-certified manufacturing partners, and we hold active FSSAI registration and APEDA certification as an exporter. This means both our manufacturing partners and our export operations are subject to third-party quality oversight.
For every commercial shipment, SV Botanica provides the following documentation as standard:
Batch-specific COA covering active marker content, physical parameters, moisture, ash, and identification tests.
Active compound verification by HPLC or UV-Vis spectrophotometry — withanolides, curcuminoids, piperine, saponins, chlorogenic acids, and more.
Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury tested to USP <2232> or EU limits. Tested by ICP-MS at NABL-accredited labs.
Total Plate Count, Yeast & Mould, E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus testing to USP or EP standards.
Multi-residue pesticide screening compliant with EU MRL limits (Regulation 396/2005) or USP <561> — available on request for EU-bound shipments.
Signed allergen declaration and GMO-free statement available for all products. Required for EU food and supplement market entry.
USDA NOP and EU Organic certificates available for certified product lines. Scope certificates provided on request.
Halal and Kosher certification available across the herbal extract, spice oleoresin, and natural oil ranges.
Pre-order documentation: We make our documentation package available to buyers before placing a commercial order. You can evaluate our COA, standardisation certificates, and heavy metals reports at the sample stage — before committing to volume.
Quality at SV Botanica is managed across five stages, from raw material origin to export dispatch:
All raw materials sourced from verified, traceable cultivation regions in India. Wild-harvested material is avoided where cultivated supply is available.
Raw materials inspected and tested for identity, moisture, and contamination before entering the GMP manufacturing facility.
Extraction, standardisation, drying, and milling conducted in ISO/GMP-certified facilities with documented SOPs and batch records.
Every finished batch tested by in-house QC and verified at NABL-accredited third-party labs for actives, heavy metals, microbial safety, and pesticides.
Shipment released only after full documentation package is compiled and approved. FSSAI, APEDA, and export documentation provided with every consignment.
SV Botanica sources exclusively from certified facilities and holds active export certifications:
Full certification documentation is available on request at the enquiry stage. See our Certifications page for detailed information on each certification.
All third-party testing is conducted at NABL-accredited laboratories (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories — India's equivalent of ISO 17025 accreditation). NABL accreditation means test results from these labs are internationally recognised and accepted by regulators in the EU, US, UK, and other major markets.
Buyers requiring testing at specific international laboratories (e.g. Eurofins, SGS, Intertek) can arrange third-party testing as part of the purchase process. We facilitate sample collection at the manufacturing facility for independent pre-shipment inspection.
Yes. We provide a representative COA, standardisation certificate, and heavy metals report at the sample evaluation stage, before any commercial order commitment. This allows your quality team to assess compliance before committing to volume.
Yes. Every COA and test report we provide is specific to the production batch being shipped. We do not provide generic or averaged reports.
Standard shelf life is 24 months from date of manufacture for herbal extracts and nutraceutical ingredients, and 18–24 months for oleoresins and natural oils, when stored under recommended conditions (cool, dry, away from direct light). Certificates of analysis include manufacturing date and best-before date.
Yes — we dispatch complimentary samples (typically 50–100g) for qualified buyers to evaluate quality before placing a commercial order. Courier charges may apply for international shipments. Request samples via our enquiry form.
Several ingredients in our range have Novel Food status in the EU. We can advise buyers on the regulatory status of specific ingredients and provide the supply documentation required for Novel Food applications. Please specify your target market and intended use in your enquiry.
