CERTIFICATION PARTNERS

All flustix seals are awarded by independent, internationally recognized certification bodies. Based on laboratory testing or supply chain auditing (flustix RECYCLED), our certification partners conduct an independent conformity assessment of the test results. Once it is confirmed that the product meets the requirements of the relevant certification programme, the certificate and seal are awarded. Following successful certification, our certification partners ensure regular monitoring.

LABORATORY PARTNERS

All flustix seals (except for flustix RECYCLED, which involves auditing) require lab testing in collaboration with internationally recognized, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories. Through targeted lab analyses, product samples are tested against the requirements of the certification scheme. Based on the test report, our certification partners conduct an independent conformity assessment of the results.
