    Accreditation

    CCS can be used as a business-to-business tool. On the one hand, it gives companies the means to ensure that they are selling quality products and getting what they pay for. On the other, it also serves as the foundation for content claim standards that are developed around specific raw materials.

    How you benefit

    The CCS verifies the presence and quantity of a given material in a finished product. It enables traceability from the source to the final product. Accredited third-party bodies carry out the certification process, ensuring transparent, consistent, and independent verification of material content claims. The scope includes companies involved in ginning, spinning, weaving and knitting, dyeing and printing, and stitching.

    Through third-party verification, we motivate your (quality) claim independently towards your clients. Furthermore, traceability and contamination risks can be managed better by certifying your management system and/or your product.

    With 200+ certification programs, we are able to conduct combination audits saving time and expenses for our customers.

    As a result, you will benefit from a ‘front runner’ position in the eyes of investors, rating agencies and other analysts and have an improved stakeholder communication.

    Our network of offices in more than 80 countries allows us to make certification more efficient and cost-effective, while upholding the same stringent professional auditing and certification procedures.
