SSCI certification
The SSCI standard was developed by benchmarking and harmonizing various international and industry standards, including 21 CFR Part 111.
Eurofins is an approved Certification Body for SSCI certification.
Background of SSCI certification
The SSCI standard was developed by benchmarking and harmonizing various international and industry standards, including 21 CFR Part 111. It focuses on improving traceability and identification of dietary supplements to ensure safety, integrity and cGMP compliance for dietary supplements being sold in the U.S.
Currently, SSCI certificates are accepted by major retailers to show cGMP compliance for dietary supplements being sold at their online and store channels.
