Certificate of Analysis分析证书
A certificate of analysis is a quality documentation record issued by a manufacturer or a qualified testing laboratory that lists the test results for a specific batch or lot of material and confirms whether those results meet the approved specifications. In regulatory submissions and batch release, the CoA appears as a signed analytical document supporting drug substance, drug product, excipient, or device component quality.

Where this term appears
In translation and localization, certificates of analysis appear in regulatory dossiers, import/export documentation, supplier qualification, and quality agreements. Translators may handle CoAs into multiple languages for customs, tender submissions, or manufacturing partners, and need to align test item names, methods, and limit units.
Translation checks
A frequent mistake is translating analytical method names literally or inconsistently, so a pharmacopoeial method such as “loss on drying” becomes confused with another procedure. Mixing decimal separators, units, or specification limits can also make the CoA appear out of specification and block batch release.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check intended use, warnings, document versions and approved terminology with the project team. Translation supports documentation; it does not establish product approval or regulatory acceptance.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
