# Sample Certificate of Analysis — Gold Recovery Coconut Shell Carbon (YELI Carbon) > Source: https://www.yelicarbon.com/coa-sample-gold-carbon.html See the quality standard we ship to, tested on every batch in our own QC laboratory. ## Sample Certificate of Analysis (COA) This is a representative COA for our gold-grade coconut shell activated carbon (6×12 mesh, CIP/CIL). Every shipment is tested and accompanied by a COA for that exact lot — tested to GB/T methods in our own QC laboratory. **Test laboratory:** YELI in-house QC laboratory, Longyan plant (Fujian). ## Sample COA — Gold Recovery Grade Coconut Shell GAC | Parameter | Result | Test Method | | Iodine adsorption value | **1050 g/kg** | GB/T 12496.8-2015 | | Strength (hardness) | **98.4%** | GB/T 12496.6-1999 | | Moisture (H₂O) | **4.8%** | GB/T 12496.4-1999 | | Particle size 6×12 mesh (1.70–3.35 mm) | **95% min** | GB/T 12496.2-1999 | | Apparent density | **0.51 g/mL** | GB/T 12496.1-1999 | | Ash content | **≤ 5%** | GB/T 12496.3 | *Note: Values shown are representative of our standard gold-grade spec. The COA shipped with each order reflects that exact batch. Iodine can be tailored from 1000 to 1300 g/kg, hardness up to 98%+, mesh 6×12 / 8×16 / 3×6 mm.* ## Why an Independent COA Matters Buyers trust test results because they verify the carbon before it ships — and we encourage re-testing on delivery. A genuine factory has nothing to hide: ask for the COA of your exact lot, send a sample to your own lab, and compare. That is the verification standard we work to. ### Request the COA for Your Lot Every YELI Carbon shipment includes a COA for the exact batch. Tell us your target spec (iodine, hardness, mesh) and we will send a sample plus its COA for your lab to verify.
