COAs vs. COCs: What Certs Say About Silicone Quality
This article examines silicone quality in terms of certificates of analysis (COAs) and certificates of conformance (COCs). COAs and COCs certify the quality of the materials that silicone suppliers send to their customers. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) report the test results for a specific batch of materials. Certificates of Conformance (COCs) simply attest to a […]
