The certification process
Certification of compost according to SPCR 152 begins with a qualification year during which the hygienisation method is checked and ongoing sampling and analysis of the compost begins. During the qualification year, external inspections are carried out to ensure that both the method and self-monitoring are working. If the hygienisation method and product are approved, and the external inspection shows that self-monitoring is reliable, a certificate can be issued after one year.
