ISCC

How is ISCC PLUS different from ISCC EU?

• ISCC EU: Is a certification system for biomass, biofuels and biocomponents, meeting the requirements of EU directives (RED II and FQD). It focuses on sustainable development in the context of EU regulations.
• ISCC PLUS: Is a voluntary system, used for products and materials outside EU regulations, such as chemicals, food, feed or packaging materials. It covers a wider range of materials and markets than ISCC EU.

Why ISCC certification?

• It enables verification of the sustainable origin of raw materials and traceability of the supply chain.
• For ISCC EU: It is necessary to participate in the biofuels market compliant with EU regulations.
• For ISCC PLUS: It ensures transparency and trust among customers in non-regulated markets.

What documents do I need to present?

What documents do I need to present?

1. Materials list: Raw materials used in production and their origin.
2. GHG calculations: If applicable to your business.
3. Mass balance tracking: Data on incoming and outgoing materials.
4. Supplier agreements: Confirming compliance with ISCC requirements.
5. Evidence of sustainable raw material origin: Certificates or declarations from suppliers.
6. Sustainability policy and operating procedures.

Is the bill of materials the same for EU and PLUS?

No, the material list may vary depending on the certification:

• ISCC EU: Focuses on materials defined in EU regulations.
• ISCC PLUS: Covers a broader scope, including waste, plastics and chemicals.

What materials can be certified?

• ISCC EU: Biomass, biofuels, biocomponents (e.g. vegetable oils, animal fats, organic waste).
• ISCC PLUS: In addition to biomass, also plastics, chemicals, food, feed and other materials subject to sustainable development principles.

Are GHG calculations mandatory?

• Yes, in ISCC EU: Mandatory according to RED II requirements.
• In ISCC PLUS: Calculations are only required if the customer requests them or they are needed in the supply chain.

What is PoS (Proof of Sustainability)?

• PoS is a document confirming the sustainable origin of the raw material and compliance with ISCC requirements.
• It contains information about the raw material, GHG calculations, mass balance and the status of the sustainable material.

What are the responsibilities of companies in the ISCC supply chain?

1. Supply chain tracking: Ensure transparency and compliance with ISCC rules.
2. Mass balance: Maintain accurate mass balance records.
3. GHG reporting: Calculate and report emissions data, where applicable.
4. Audit: Undergo annual audits to maintain certification.
5. Delivery reporting: Issue PoS documents to subsequent participants in the chain.
