ABC Publishes Article Documenting Supplement Regulations

February 29, 2012 By Steven Perez

Dietary supplements are subject to a wide array of federal government regulations in the U.S., according to a new report published by the non-profit American Botanical Council (ABC), Austin, TX. The article notes numerous authorities to regulate dietary supplements that are granted to FDA and FTC, as well as other government agencies.

The article, titled “The Regulated Dietary Supplement Industry: Myths of an Unregulated Industry Dispelled,” has been published online and will appear in the winter issue of ABC’s quarterly, peer-reviewed journal HerbalGram. It is the second from ABC on this subject; in 2000, ABC published a seminal article titled “Regulation in the Herb Market: The Myth of the ‘Unregulated Industry’” in HerbalGram. It was written by the co-author of the present article, R. William Soller, PhD, an expert on health policy and the use of nonprescription medications for self-care who has a long history in the regulation of both dietary supplements and nonprescription medications.

Now, just more than a decade later, Dr. Soller, Holly J. Bayne, Esq.—a Washington, D.C.-based attorney specializing in food and drug law with a focus on dietary supplements and botanicals—and Christopher Shaheen, a researcher at the University of California – San Francisco (UCSF), have developed a greatly expanded follow-up article to clarify the breadth and depth of regulation of dietary supplements.

ISO/IEC 17025 ACCREDITED

ISO/IEC 17025 is a company level accreditation based on a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) titled “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. ISO/IEC 17025 is a general umbrella term used to refer to the specific standard; the current version of this standard is ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The standard contains two main sections: management requirements (primarily related to the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the laboratory) and technical requirements (primarily related to the competence of staff and calibration of equipment). The standard also gives requirements related to quality management such as document control and corrective action. This standard is the basis for accreditation from an accrediting body.

ADPEN has also been inspected by the US-EPA and US-FDA multiple times with no observations.
