Tendering results

Posted: 6 June, 2016. Written by Georgia

We are very pleased to announce that following a tender process REAL has reappointed Organics Farmers & Growers (OF&G) and NSF Certification as certification bodies for the Compost Certification Scheme (CCS). REAL CCS created an open invitation for certification bodies to tender for this role, and following a period of careful examination the same two certification bodies were successful in securing these positions once again.

We are also working with another organisation that may become the third certification body in due course. If this appointment is successful, we will make a further announcement.

We look forward to working with our certification bodies to ensure that the Scheme continues to provide assurance to farmers and retailers that quality compost is safe, reliable and of consistent high quality. For more information on our certification bodies, you can access the main information page on our website here, and individual profiles for both CBs.
