Learning nuggets: Certification made easy – certification systems for chemical products

In the chemical industry in particular, the right certification is a decisive factor in determining market opportunities and acceptance. Sustainability, safety and transparency must be demonstrated in a particularly clear, structured and comprehensible manner, as these requirements play a central role throughout the entire value chain.

The learning unit addresses precisely these challenges and provides a compact and practical overview of relevant certification systems in chemistry. It covers everything from basic principles and established standards to application-specific features.

Building on this, the report explains which certificates specifically apply to chemical products and at which points in the value chain they take effect, starting with the raw material base, through production, to further processing into the end product.

Another focus is on the practical requirements associated with certification. Topics covered include data collection and documentation, testing and audit processes, and the ongoing maintenance of existing systems and recertification.

Finally, a best practice example from an established company illustrates the certification process within a recognised system step by step. From preparation and auditing to the successful awarding of certificates, the theoretical content is clearly translated into practice.

The unit is ideal for professionals who want to refresh their knowledge, but also for anyone interested in gaining an initial insight into the complex world of chemical certifications.

To test your new knowledge, there are several exercises with solutions available for self-study!
