Sheni Labs · Get a verdict
Get a verdict
You have a product — a supplement, a traditional remedy, a cosmetic or perfume, a home product. Sheni Labs verifies it against the public record and says whether we recommend it. Consumers and health professionals submit free of charge; organisations can commission assessments on a paid basis — the fee pays for the work, never for the result.
How it works
- Submit. Send the product name, the full label (photographs of every side), the ingredient list, and — for manufacturers — the certificates of analysis, safety data sheet or product information file, and registration or notification documents. Use the form below or write to info@accreditation.ge.
- Screening. We check completeness. If documentation is insufficient we tell you what is missing before any evaluation.
- Verification. Sheni Labs does not test products in a laboratory: it verifies the product against the public record — ingredient databases, the evidence, regulator alerts, and the registries behind every certificate, logo, laboratory report and company named on the label (see the method). The product is assessed against the criteria for its category — supplements, traditional and complementary medicine, cosmetics and perfume, home products — using supplement.ge’s database, the published evidence and the applicable regulation.
- Verdict. Prepared by an expert from the independent pool in the relevant discipline and checked by a second; every “Not recommended” is reviewed by the Scientific Committee. One of four outcomes, with the reasons, the evidence grade for each claim and what would change the verdict.
- Publication. With the submitter’s agreement, verdicts are published on this site; “Recommended” products may carry the Sheni Labs mark on their page here.
For organisations: commissioned assessments
Manufacturers, importers, distributors, pharmacy chains, retailers, marketplaces, insurers and public bodies can commission a Sheni Labs assessment on a paid basis. The method is the same one published on this site; the fee pays for the work of verification, never for the result.
| Service | What you receive | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Single-product assessment | A full desk verification of one product — ingredients and their status in each reference jurisdiction, evidence grade per claim, legality of claims, verification of every certificate, logo, laboratory and company named on the label, alert history — and a reasoned verdict. | Before launch or import; before listing in a pharmacy or marketplace |
| Portfolio assessment | The same for a range of products, with a summary table and the issues ranked by severity. | Importers, distributors and retailers reviewing a supplier’s catalogue |
| Due-diligence check | Verification of a supplier or brand: company and trademark registration, certificates claimed (ISO, GMP, third-party testing, organic, halal), laboratory accreditation, regulatory history and alerts. | Before contracting a new supplier or private-label partner |
| Label and claims review | Line-by-line review of a label or marketing text against the rules of the target markets, with the changes required. | Before printing packaging or launching a campaign in a new market |
| Market watch | Monitoring of a category or of competing products against regulator alerts and the registries, reported monthly or quarterly. | Brands, associations and public bodies |
| Regulator and public-body support | Assessments and evidence summaries to support inspection, market surveillance or policy, at cost. | National agencies, municipalities, consumer organisations |
Terms that do not change
- The commissioning organisation receives the report; it does not influence its content. A paid assessment cannot purchase a “Recommended”.
- If the organisation chooses to publish the verdict or to display the Sheni Labs mark, the record states that the assessment was commissioned and by whom.
- Where laboratory analysis is needed, it is commissioned from an accredited laboratory, the cost is quoted in advance, and the result is reported whatever it shows.
- Reports are confidential to the client unless published; findings that indicate a danger to the public are reported to the competent regulator regardless.
- Reviewers declare conflicts of interest; the lab accepts no retainers, sponsorship or advertising from product companies.
Fees are quoted per assignment according to the number of products, markets and documents. Enquiries: info@accreditation.ge or the form below, choosing “Manufacturer or importer”, “Retailer or distributor” or “Regulator”.
Submit a product
Fields marked * are required. We reply within ten working days with either a verdict, a request for documents, or a note that the product is outside our scope.
The four verdicts
Independence
- No payment changes a verdict. Public verdicts on consumer submissions are free; organisations pay for commissioned assessments, and the fee covers the work of verification, not its outcome. The lab is otherwise funded by the Public Health Institute of Georgia and accepts no sponsorship or advertising from product companies.
- Laboratory testing, where needed, is commissioned from accredited laboratories and the cost is disclosed to the submitter in advance; the result is reported whatever it shows.
- Products designed by Sheni Labs itself (the SHENI Paris line) are published with full documentation but are never graded “recommended” by the lab.
- Verdicts can be challenged: a submitter may provide new evidence and ask for a review; corrections are published.
What a verdict is not
It is not a licence, a registration or a regulatory approval; it is an independent scientific opinion on the evidence and the documentation at the date given. Verdicts carry a date and are reviewed when the evidence or the product changes.
