NEWS: ISEGA diversifies field of compostability testing
Controversial discussions about disposable plastic bags, increasing use of bioplastics for packaging as well as the evaluation criteria for compostable materials in general led to a rising significance of non-industrially compostable materials.
In this regard, DIN CERTCO launched the certification program 'Products made of compostable materials for home and garden composting' which is based on the standards NF T51-800 and AS 5810. In January 2017, ISEGA gained full authorization to conduct all comprised tests.more information
NEWS: A picture paints a thousand words
It has come to our attention that there are flyers and websites circulating that promote their products with a "ISEGA Approved for Direct Food Contact" logo. We would like our clients and all interested buyers to note that this logo was not created or authorized by us and does not make any statment relating to our certificates of compliance or stamps. We expressly distance ourselves from this sign and do not aceept any responsibility connected to its use.
We gladly award our signet "Product Safety with Letter and Seal" for products which have been successfully certified by us. It always comes with the registered number of the respective certificate of compliance so that all parties involved can easily trace to which extent and based on which regulations the product is approved for food contact.-
NEWS: Another brazen certification fraud
It has come to our attention that another falsified ISEGA certificate of compliance is currently in circulation. The product Fleischpapier from company Hellblut GmbH & Co. KG was neither tested nor approved by us for the given purpose.
Certificates are unfortunately likely to be falsified whenever the products are not suitable for the intended purpose and would not have been compliant with the respective regulations during testing. We can only urge extreme caution when you encounter such products.
