The

Quality Assurance Process

What is Quality Assurance ?

Quality assurance ( QA ) is often referred to as the “ police ” of the manufacturing world , because some of our duties in QA make us seem like police officers . We enforce dōTERRA standards , such as CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade ® . However , there are also legal requirements that we enforce throughout each stage of sourcing and bottling our oils . All of our products , whether they are
foods , cosmetics , or dietary supplements , have regulatory requirements in each country where they are sold . These requirements influence and sometimes dictate the labeling , sourcing , and manufacturing processes that result in the end product . In brief , QA has the responsibility to review and approve items such as ingredient , component , and finished good specifications ; procedures ; manufacturing records ; and equipment . This applies to dōTERRA because our internal use oils are labeled as dietary supplements .
