Legally sound certification:

The sub-licence model transfers an existing certification to a downstream market participant under defined conditions. The supplier has the material tested once; its customers receive their own licence number and their own entry in the public database on that basis. Without repeat laboratory testing and without duplicated audit costs.
This solves exactly the problem the PPWR creates: legal responsibility sits with the party placing the goods on the market, the verified data sits with the supplier. The sub-licence closes that gap without disclosing the supply chain to third parties. Important: a sub-licence does not extend the scope of the parent certification and remains tied to its validity.
