How to verify an AV Analytics COA
Check a certificate with the laboratory that issued it, not with the seller. These are the steps we use ourselves (check L3 in How we rate). Research use only.

Four steps
Find the code on the certificate
Each certificate prints a certificate number.
Open the laboratory's own lookup
Search the number on the laboratory's COA search page. Type the address yourself rather than following a link from the seller, and make sure the page is on the laboratory's own domain.
Compare the result with the vendor's copy
A real number returns the current record. The product, lot, client name, test date, purity and quantity should all match; any difference in these is a material difference.
Run the control check
An invented number returns no record. Change one character of a real code and look it up again: a lookup that answers every code proves nothing.
