Stage 2: Product Testing to ISO17025 Standards

The INFORMED-SPORT testing specification has been developed through the analysis of over 8000 supplement samples over 6 years. It has been reinforced through research into supplement contamination levels and the analysis of positive drug tests within professional sport on a global basis. The appropriate detection limits are those selected to reassure the athlete that they are not taking undue risks. The specification may be updated from time to time under the guidance of the INFORMED-SPORT Members.

All testing for INFORMED-SPORT must be accredited to ISO17025 - vital to ensure that the analyses meet expectations in terms of consistent quality and coverage of drugs.

Validated methods are required for each formulation type (powders, liquids, capsules, bars, tablets, etc) at the specified detection limit. The integrity of the programme is built upon this standard.
