Quality Control & Laboratory Testing
TEST.
MEASURE.
VERIFY.
QUALITY CONTROL THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
IHR's quality control approach connects raw material evaluation, in-process checks, water quality, herbal extract review, packaging inspection and finished-product evaluation within a structured manufacturing process.

YOU CANNOT CONTROL
WHAT YOU DO NOT MEASURE.
Quality control provides the measurable layer within the manufacturing process. Materials, manufacturing stages, packaging components and finished products must be evaluated against appropriate requirements before relevant production or release decisions can be made. At IHR, quality control is presented as a sequence of checks supporting the broader Quality Assurance system.
QUALITY CONTROL
ACROSS THE PRODUCT JOURNEY.
QUALITY STARTS
BEFORE MANUFACTURING.
Herbal raw materials form the foundation of finished IHR products. Incoming materials should be evaluated against applicable material specifications and supporting documentation before use in manufacturing.

CONCEPTUAL CHECKPOINTS
FROM RECEIPT
TO ACCEPTANCE.
THE NAME OF THE HERB
IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
A serious herbal quality process requires more precision than a common ingredient name. Relevant considerations may include botanical species, plant part, material form, physical characteristics, supplier documentation, pharmacopoeial or regulatory references where applicable, and defined specification.

AN EXTRACT IS MORE
THAN A BOTANICAL NAME.
Herbal extracts may differ according to source material, plant part, extract form, concentration and defined specification. Quality review should therefore consider the characteristics of the actual extract being used rather than relying only on its common herbal name.

WATER IS AN INGREDIENT.
SO IT MUST BE CONTROLLED.
Water used during manufacturing can directly influence process and product quality. Where water is involved in manufacturing, appropriate quality evaluation should form part of the production control system.

QUALITY CONTROL
WHILE THE PRODUCT IS BEING MADE.
Quality control should not begin only after manufacturing has finished. Relevant checks during production help provide information about the manufacturing process while the batch is being produced.
