This program was developed in response to the growing demand within the supply chain to enhance transparency, integrity, and traceability of sustainable regenerated cellulosic fibers commonly known as man-made cellulosic fibers. The SRCCS standard is designed for chain of custody verification, covering materials sourced from responsibly managed forest wood pulp, consciously sourced post-consumer textile waste, and plant-based agro-residue pulp. The production certification standard certifies the presence of sustainable regenerated cellulosic fibers from the first processing stage through to the final product, while ensuring compliance with social, chemical, and environmental sustainability criteria throughout the production process.

The Sustainable Regenerated Cellulosics Content Standard (SRCCS), formerly known as the Sustainable Viscose Chain of Custody Standard (SVCOC), was originally developed by Control Union Certifications (CUC) in 2020 with the collaborative support of leading global fashion brand C&A.
