Thanks to the increasing attention that consumers devote to BIO products, national and international regulations have now higher requirements.
For this reason, ECSA Group is proud to confirm that, after an audit carried out in mid-September 2023, the BIO certifications regarding the handled products have been renewed.
A special thank goes to Nicola Zaffuto (REACH Coordinator & Officer Compliance) and Sara Bettoni (Customer Service – ECSA Chemicals) for the excellent work done and for the important result achieved.
The international BIO certifications demand uniform quality requirements. They follow the entire chain, from production to processing and sale. Traceability and indisputable evidence represent a factor of major importance in international trade. The goal is to make the cultivation, processing, and trade of products credible.
ECSA Group is constantly committed to guaranteeing the quality of its processes thanks to a dedicated team and continuous control.
“The main activities that ECSA carries out are preparation, trade and import that should respect bio.inspecta basic requirements, CH Ordinanza bio and Bio Suisse.”
“Preparation activity concerns only Glycerin 99.5% BIO, while for all the other products only trade and import activities are carried out.”
