Verification

Independent verification

We are not your supplier on this work. That is exactly why you can trust what we tell you about them.

You can find a supplier in an afternoon. What you cannot do from another country, in another language, is establish whether that supplier is what it claims to be, whether the certificate they sent you is real, and whether the documentation will survive contact with your regulator.

That is the gap this service exists to close. Send us the supplier, the order or the documents. We check the factory, we check the goods, and we read the paperwork properly. Then we tell you what is real, what is missing, and what will not satisfy your market.

We do not certify. NJMC is not a certification body and not a notified body. We provide independent verification and due diligence reports based on documentary review, factory checks and technical assessment. The conclusion is ours, the decision remains yours.

Why an independent check is worth more than a supplier's assurance

A supplier verifying their own goods is marking their own homework. A general inspection agency can count cartons and photograph pallets, but cannot read an impurity profile, cannot tell you whether a polymorphic form will survive your process, and cannot judge whether a dossier supports your filing route.

The work is done by a working biomedical scientist with two doctorates, based in Nanjing, operating in English, Arabic and Chinese. That combination is the reason this service exists at all.

Our fee is payable whether the answer is yes or no. It is never conditional on you buying anything afterwards, from us or from anyone else. If it were, the report would be worth nothing.

What we check

The supplier

Whether the counterparty manufactures or trades. Whether the business registration is real. Whether the site named on the GMP or ISO certificate is the site that would actually produce your order, which is the single most common gap we find.

The documents

Certificate of analysis read against your specification rather than glanced at. GMP certificate checked for site, scope and expiry. Drug Master File and letter of access. CEP verified against the EDQM register. FDA listings checked against the public database. Stability data, which is the item most often missing from a package that otherwise looks complete.

The goods

Before shipment, confirming that what is loading matches the documentation you approved. Being physically in China is what makes this possible, and it is the check buyers most often skip because everything looked correct at quotation.

Introductory rates apply to the first ten engagements. Standard rates are USD 300, 500 and 750. Retainers are available where verification is needed regularly.

This sits alongside our sourcing work, not instead of it

We source APIs, excipients, consumables, devices and equipment, and we have done so for many customers. Verification is a separate service for buyers who already have a supplier and want an independent opinion before they commit. You can use one, the other, or both. If you engage us to verify a supplier you found yourself, we have no stake in the outcome, and that is the point.

How to start

  1. Tell us what you have. A supplier name, a quotation, a set of documents, or all three.
  2. We confirm scope and fee in writing before any work begins, so you know exactly what is and is not covered.
  3. We do the work and issue a written report.
  4. You decide. We have no interest in which way you go.
