INFORMED-SPORT

Stage 1: Product Assessment Questionnaire

For every product submitted for registration with INFORMED-SPORT a product assessment questionnaire must be completed.

Stage 2: Product Testing to ISO17025 STANDARDS

The INFORMED-SPORT testing specification has been developed through the analysis of over 6000 supplement samples over 6 years.

Stage 2A: Pre Registration Testing

In order for a product to be registered with INFORMED-SPORT, a minimum of 5 samples of each product will be tested.

Stage 2B: Post Registration Testing

INFORMED-SPORT offers two levels of risk-management to its Members and provides the consumer with a high degree of confidence in each registered product.

Stage 3: Logo use and web directory

All INFORMED-SPORT registered products are entitled to use the INFORMED-SPORT logo.

b) Post Registration Testing

Once registered, two packs from each and every batch of manufactured product is submitted by the Member to HFL. One pack (the A sample) is tested using HFL’s ISO accredited supplement screen. The second pack (the B sample) is retained in secure storage at HFL for a minimum of the product shelf life.

In addition for final products, "blind" testing is also performed (4 per annum for each registered product in the first year of registration) to independently ensure the integrity of that product. "Blind" samples are purchased by the INFORMED-SPORT administrator from retail outlets.

All test results are reported to the Member on a confidential basis.
