Question about verification
Certification means demonstrating that a system or product complies with requirements.
Verification means ensuring that what you claim is reliable. Ecocert’s verification assesses a risk, a practice, a claim, or a data point, based on an internal methodological framework or one specifically designed to meet your exact needs.
A verification is an independent, impartial assessment carried out by Ecocert’s teams to attest to a reality: the truthfulness of a claim, the reliability of a data point, the robustness of a supplier practice, or the traceability of a supply chain. At the end of the process, Ecocert issues a verification statement accompanied by a detailed report.
Choosing a third-party organization such as Certisys (through the Ecocert Group) helps you strengthen stakeholder trust, secure your communications, and obtain an external deliverable that can be used both internally and externally.
Ecocert verification statements are tailored to your needs and may include:
- Scope of work, including the verification date
- Methodology implemented or verification framework
- Verification findings
- Key conclusions of the analysis
The process is adapted to your needs:
- A methodology tailored to your company
- Selection of the verification method and scope based on the topic and internal/external issues (remote, on-site, etc.)
- Verification by Ecocert experts
- Issuance of a verification report
