Dear colleagues,

please help to solve the dilemma: whether the presentation of 2 unsigned certificates of quality with pre-printed indication "Original" met the requirement of l/c ("CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS - 2 originals') and is it a discrepancy or not (as per Article 37 of ISBP certificates should be signed).

Thanks in advance.
Vital, Moscow.

Para 37 of ISBP clearly states that certificates, by their nature, require a signature. So, unless the document is signed, I would not consider it to be a certificate.

(Also, you might want to check out the varied forms of “signature” as provided in Article 3.)

Hope this helps.

ISBP calls for a certificate depending on its nature. in my opinion a certificate of quality must be signed and therefore the presented one is discrepant.

signature is one of the way to make a document original.
