Certified Laboratories Approved as Amazon TIC for Supplements
Expansion reinforces leadership in regulated product testing.
BURBANK, Calif. — Certified Laboratories, a Certified Group company, is now officially recognized as an Amazon-approved Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) organization for dietary supplements. This important designation enables Certified Laboratories to perform lab testing and verify C-GMP documentation, both essential under Amazon's updated supplement compliance policy which will affect products available in the near future.
Compliance with Amazon’s Standards
With this approval, Certified Laboratories will play a crucial role in ensuring that supplements sold on Amazon are manufactured in facilities that comply with the FDA’s 21 CFR 111 or 117 C-GMP regulations. This shift means that all dietary supplements listed on Amazon must now be verified by a recognized third party to meet quality standards.
Importance of Third-Party Certifications
This new capability to verify third-party C-GMP certifications submitted by supplement sellers underlines the importance of adherence to new policies. As of 2026, Amazon has mandated that compliance is not just preferred but essential for all products in its dietary supplement category, ensuring consumer safety and trust.
Strengthening Market Leadership
The recent designation enhances Certified Laboratories' existing Amazon TIC status for other product categories, including skin-lightening and ophthalmic products. This solidifies its stance as a trusted partner in compliance, especially in high-risk consumer categories.
"This recognition speaks to our ongoing commitment to aiding clients in navigating the complexities of highly regulated markets," remarked Todd Shea, President of Cosmetics, OTC, and Supplements at Certified Laboratories. "We take pride in delivering testing and verification services that align with Amazon's evolving quality expectations."
