Why should you use ISO 22095?
Understanding the origin of input materials, product components, product outputs and the conditions under which they are produced is becoming increasingly important. Manufacturers want to demonstrate compliance with requirements regarding health and safety, as well as environmental, social, and quality-related aspects, while consumers or other end users need to be able to trust the claims made for these products.
ISO 22095 provides you with the unambiguous definitions of the different chain of custody models and corresponding requirements, which are independent of sectors, materials, products, and issues addressed.
ISO 22095 helps you to enhance the transparency of specific claims regarding materials or products and thereby support the reliability of these claims.
