For example, certification is applicable to catering services, food industries, food retail, food packaging and contact materials, transportation and storage companies, etc.

Extending on the requirements of ISO 22000, the FSSC 22000 standard is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which can be seen as an advantage for food exporting businesses

All types of information come under the scope of ISO 27001, not just electronic data.

Product labelling

Commonly observed symbols displayed on products and their packaging, arise through extensive legislative work which often requires simple labelling procedures, but sometimes the related requirements are complex, costly and time-consuming.

The criteria and prerequisites are country specific but European Member states usually agree on common ground.

Although product labelling procedures usually apply to the actual product manufacturer, also importers/distributors can be involved if importing unlabelled products into the European Economic Area.

Our team members have the knowledge and experience required in order to dictate the appropriate labelling scheme for any product.

Acquaintance with CE marking

CE marking

CE marking implies that a product is in conformity with E.U. legislation and it can be freely traded between the member states of the European Economic Area.

CE marking is mandatory only for some product groups falling into specific European directives, called New Approach Directives.

CE marking procedures usually require an assessment of the product or its manufacturing process prior to market placing.

This assessment often involves the intervention of a notified body/laboratory. The degree of involvement depends on the health, safety and environmental impact of the product.

Acquaintance with CE marking

UKCA marking

UKCA marking replaced CE marking in the United Kingdom from 01/01/2022 onwards.

Many products are UKCA marked by utilizing identical procedures to those of CE marking.

Different procedures are in place for medical devices, construction products, civil explosives, marine equipment, pressure equipment and rail products.

Environmental Product Declaration(EPD)

The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle.

It provides information about the environmental footprint of the product, from extraction of its raw materials until their final disposal, in accordance with the international standards ISO 14025 and EN 15804.

The Environmental Declaration EPD is independently verified, which makes it a reliable and valid source of information about the environmental performance of the product.

In modern constructions which often adopt green standards such as LEED, BREEAM, etc, products carriying an Environmental Declaration EPD are prefferable and offer a competitive advantage.

Energy class

Energy labelling of some appliances makes it easier for consumers to compare the energy effectiveness of products of different manufacturers, by utilizing common objective criteria.

Such criteria can be energy consumption, noise emissions, homogenized technical specifications, etc.

The directive classifies the appliances into energy classes (A++, A+, B, D, etc.). Its applicability is mandatory and closely interconnected to the CE marking directives.

The energy efficiency calculations and the categorization into energy classes in general, is achieved via documented testing, measurements, algebraic calculation, etc.

Special product labelling

Large number of markings and symbols can be found on products and their packaging worldwide.

Our team members have the necessary knowledge required in order to guide you through the corresponding labelling schemes and their requirements.

For example, the glass-fork icon:

Food contact materials, such as plastic, glass, ceramics, paper and metals ought to be suitable for use and their suitability ought to be evident. The labelling prerequisites differ between material types.
