FSC Certification ensures that products sourced from forests—such as timber, paper, and packaging—are obtained responsibly and sustainably, with due consideration for the environment, communities, and economies. Businesses certified under FSC are allowed to use FSC labels, providing assurance to consumers and buyers that their products meet global sustainability standards. Why is FSC Certification Important in India? India’s growing export markets, especially in packaging, furniture, handicrafts, pulp & paper, and print, increasingly demand FSC-certified products. Global buyers now require FSC-labeled goods like corrugated boxes, paper bags, hang tags, and other wood-based materials. While large Indian companies have paved the way, now SMEs are also realizing the value of FSC certification to expand their global reach and credibility.

VOLUNTARY CERTIFICATION SCHEME FOR AYUSH PRODUCTS Introduction The Ayush products are regulated under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 by the Drugs Controller General of India through the State Governments. The Department of AYUSH has been exploring the possibility of introducing a voluntary product certification scheme for selected AYUSH products to enhance consumer confidence. The matter was discussed in a series of meetings taken by the Secretary (AYUSH) beginning 24 Dec 2008 and the Quality Council of India (QCI) offered to develop a concept paper on the subject. On approval of the concept, the Department of AYUSH signed an agreement with the QCI on 27 July 2009 to design the Scheme with Department of AYUSH being the Scheme owner and QCI being responsible for managing the Scheme. The draft Scheme was given to the Department of AYUSH on 3 Aug 2009 and Simultaneously placed on the websites of Department of AYUSH and QCI for public consultation. The Scheme will be overseen by a Multi stakeholder Steering Committee (MSC) chaired by the Secretary (AYUSH) with secretariat in QCI. The MSC will be supported by a Technical Committee and a Certification Committee constituted by QCI. The Scheme is based on a criteria for certification. It has two levels: Ayush Standard Mark which is based on compliance to the domestic regulatory requirements Ayush Premium Mark which is based on GMP requirements based on WHO Guidelines and product requirements with flexibility to certify against any overseas regulation provided these are stricter than the former criteria. Under this scheme, each manufacturing unit would obtain a certification from a approved certification body (CB) which is accredited to appropriate international standards by the National Accreditation Board For Certification Bodies (NABCB) and will be under regular surveillance of the certification body.

Promoting organic production standards to meet consumer demand BUSINESS CHALLENGE Increased cases of unsafe food due to over use of chemical fertilizers and chemicals in food production system, has created an increasing worldwide demand for organic food. The challenge facing the organic agriculture industry is to produce foodstuffs and agricultural products using methods, which respect the environment and animal welfare. Globally, these demands are defined by regulations, particularly in those countries, which consume organic products. The principal standards are NPOP standard (India Organic- APEDA), EU Regulation 834/2007 and the US National Organic Program (NOP). To take into account the regulations in place, the certification scheme depends both on the country of production and the country of destination. This certification is aimed at producer organizations or members of food industries who want to commercialize organic products for a particular market. The organic certification considered as a guarantee of quality and safety by the consumers. What is Organic Certification? Organic certification is a nationally and internationally recognized set of standards aimed at proving that agricultural and food products have been produced without the use of synthetic chemical products, while using methods, which respect the environment and animal welfare. Organic requirements involve a set of production specifications for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping. All organic assessment and qualification references require control and certification by an accredited independent body. Organic Certification Requirements vary from country to country and generally involve a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include: avoidance of synthetic chemical inputs (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives), irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge; avoidance of genetically modified seed; use of farmland that has been free from prohibited chemical inputs for a number of years (often, three or more); for livestock, adhering to specific requirements for feed, housing, and breeding; keeping detailed written production and sales records (audit trail); maintaining strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products; Undergoing periodic on-site inspections. Certified organic foods are not necessarily pesticide-free, certain pesticides are allowed. What are the key benefits? Demonstrate Organic Standards compliance of products to clients (retailers, traders, importers) Inspire consumer confidence Ensure greater access to existing and target markets Help protect the environment from harmful products and processes Preserve animal welfare WHY CHOOSE SCPL We are working with USOCA that is accredited for certification according to the NPOP, Swiss, European and NOP (USDA) organic production standard. With the NPOP, the client will also get certificate for Swiss and European Organic certification (EU Regulation No. 834/2007), which will make it recognized by all European Union member countries.
