Certification or verification?
Certification means demonstrating that a system or product complies with requirements.
Verification means ensuring that what you claim is reliable. Ecocert’s verification assesses a risk, a practice, a claim, or a data point, based on an internal methodological framework or one specifically designed to meet your exact needs.
What is a verification carried out by Ecocert?
A verification is an independent, impartial assessment carried out by our teams to attest to a reality: the truthfulness of a claim, the reliability of a data point, the robustness of a supplier practice, or the traceability of a supply chain. At the end of the process, Ecocert issues a verification statement accompanied by a detailed report.
Why have your claims verified by an independent third-party organization?
Choosing a third-party organization such as Ecocert helps you strengthen stakeholder trust, secure your communications, and obtain an external deliverable that can be used both internally and externally.
What does a verification statement contain?
How does a verification work in practice?
The process is adapted to your needs:
Your need
Our teams work with you to define the scope of the verification, its objectives and the expected level of ambition.
Building the verification framework (depending on the request)
Definition of the verification framework: an internal standard or the development of a verification framework tailored to your challenges, based on Ecocert’s internal methodologies.
Signing the service contract
The scope, terms and conditions of use of the statement are formalized by contract.
Carrying out the verification
Our auditors and experts carry out the verifications according to the defined plan: document review, on-site audit, sampling, cross-checking of sources and specific analyses.
Issuance of the statement
After review by our teams, Ecocert issues your verification statement and a detailed report, which can be reused in your internal and external communications.
Consulting services, provided by dedicated subsidiaries, are independent of the Ecocert Group's Certification services.
