  1. Importance of Effective Quality Control

    The use of banned substances in sports and dietary supplements is a major concern, not just for athletes but also manufacturers themselves. Supplements contaminated with banned substances can lead to serious consequences, including suspension and fines as well as damage to one's reputation. For this reason, quality control is a critical element in the manufacturing process. However, standard quality control practices may not always be sufficient for preventing cross-contamination with low levels of banned substances. This is where the Informed Manufacturer certification process is invaluable. It provides manufacturers with the tools and resources needed to conduct a thorough analysis of their processes and minimise the risk of contamination.
     
  2. How Informed Manufacturer Works

    The Informed Manufacturer programme involves several steps to ensure that manufacturing facilities are meeting the highest standards of quality control. These include:

    - Assessment of quality control processes through on-site visits and swabbing of manufacturing facilities to check for the presence of banned substances.

    - Regular reviews of manufacturing processes to identify areas of risk and make recommendations for improvement.

    - Ongoing support and training to manufacturers to ensure they are up-to-date on the latest industry standards and best practices.
