Independent evidence that your product meets the requirements
Buyers, distributors and export markets increasingly ask for independent proof that a product, or the way it is made, meets defined requirements. Product certification gives them that evidence, backed by an audit, an impartial decision and a certificate anyone can verify online.
Requirements differ by product, market and scheme, so we always start by confirming which route applies to you and what the certificate will be recognized for, in writing, before you commit.
- Clear route firstWritten confirmation of the scheme and what the certificate covers.
- Audit-basedDocument review plus on-site or remote assessment.
- Impartial decisionTaken by people who did not perform the audit.
- Verifiable onlineCertificates listed with their type and status.

Compliance certification
For schemes that are normally licensed by a scheme owner, we offer compliance certification: an independent audit against the published requirements, with a USGSR certificate that states exactly what it covers.
| Requirements audited | Our certificate | Not equivalent to |
|---|---|---|
| FSSC 22000 | FSSC 22000 Compliance Certification | A Foundation FSSC-licensed certificate; GFSI recognition |
| BRCGS | BRCGS Compliance Certification | A BRCGS certificate from an approved certification body |
| CE marking (technical documentation) | CE Marking Compliance Certification | A Notified Body certificate or the CE mark itself |
This is a compliance certification issued by US Global Standards Registrars. It is not a certificate issued under the licence or approval of the scheme owner (e.g. Foundation FSSC, BRCGS), is not GFSI-recognized, and is not a CE Notified Body certificate. If your customer requires a scheme-owner certificate, please confirm the requirement before applying.

Frequently asked questions
Is CE marking an ISO certificate?
No. CE marking is a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity with EU legislation. We offer a compliance certification of the technical documentation; we are not an EU Notified Body.
Can you issue an FSSC 22000 certificate?
We issue an FSSC 22000 compliance certificate. It is not a Foundation FSSC-licensed certificate and is not GFSI-recognized.
Is your Halal certificate accepted in every country?
No Halal certificate is accepted everywhere. Recognition depends on the importing country’s authority, so check your destination market before applying.
Does a GMP certificate replace a manufacturing licence?
No. Where GMP is regulated by law, as for medicines, regulators carry out GMP inspections. A private GMP certificate gives customers independent evidence; it does not replace licensing.
How long does product certification take?
It depends on the route and how ready your documentation is. Your proposal gives the expected steps and timing.
