Batch testing vs full certification

_______________________________

Batch testing means that a sample from a specific batch of product has been sent to be independently tested for WADA banned substances. The result of that testing only applies to the tested batch, so a company cannot claim that all their product is HASTA tested, if they are only doing random batch testing.

The process of HASTA Certification requires an additional commitment which includes a minimum of five successful test results from three batches of each product. Once certified, every new batch of the product must then be sent away for third party testing in order to retain full HASTA Certification.
