3. What does origin information represent?

Depending on the product, different origins may apply:

3.1 Biologic Origin
Derived from animal (including human), plant, or fermentative sources.

3.2 Animal Origin
Derived from raw materials of animal origin. Detailed information about species and geographical sources is provided when necessary.

3.3 Fermentative Origin
Produced via microbial fermentation. Common examples include products such as enzymes or bioactive molecules synthesized by microorganisms.

3.4 Mineral Origin
Originates from mined sources. Typical products include salts, metals, or other inorganic compounds.

3.5 Natural Origin
Produced by nature (e.g., salts, minerals) without significant chemical alteration. Examples include plant extracts or natural oils.

3.6 Synthetic Origin
Chemically synthesized through controlled processes to achieve high purity and quality. Common in laboratory reagents and chemical intermediates.

3.7 Vegetable Origin (VO)
Obtained directly from plant materials via physical or chemical extraction. Products such as starch derivatives or plant-based oils fall into this category.

4. For which products is origin information available?

Origin information, including CofO or AO details, is available for a wide range of products. For products with a high-quality assurance level, TSE/BSE statements are provided as applicable.

Detailed origin information is primarily offered for products used in pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and research applications where strict regulatory compliance is required. Additional requests for origin details may be fulfilled for general products depending on availability.

5. What is the purpose of CofO / AO / TSE/BSE?

These documents help customers:

     · Conduct regulatory risk assessments.
