Only after receiving the conclusion of the laboratory a decision about the suitability of raw materials for further use is made. In this case, all the requirements set forth in the regulatory documentation are taken into account.

If the quality of plant raw materials does not meet the requirements of normative documentation, they are sent for revision or returned to the supplier. Qualifying raw materials are sent to production for processing or to one of the warehouses for storage.
