Certification for ISCC EU
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure compliance with social and environmental standards
The need for sustainable business practices is particularly high in the biomass production and processing sector.
This is why the European Union established the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC EU). This standard aims to minimize harmful environmental impacts and also considers social aspects to promote comprehensive sustainable development. The ISCC EU focuses on compliance with EU directives, particularly the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). Interested in ISCC EU certification? We are happy to assist you.

Your ISCC EU certification at a glance
Our ISCC EU certification is designed for companies active in a wide range of sectors. This includes organizations involved in biomass, waste, residues, non-biological sources of renewable energy, and the processing of recycled materials into new products. Examples include agricultural enterprises, agricultural traders, operators of oil and sugar mills, biodiesel and ethanol extraction facilities, and biofuel traders.
Our highly qualified, international auditors are available to conduct a thorough audit on short notice. This audit ultimately ensures compliance with ISCC EU guidelines, after which you will receive the certificate.
The result: an insightful audit report that provides you with the tools for ISCC EU certification. In the broader sense, it also leads to a transparent and sustainable value chain that makes responsible use of natural resources.
1. Selection of the certification body and registration
The certification process begins with the signing of a certification agreement with the chosen certification body. This agreement outlines the duration and content of the certification process. Your organization is then registered with ISCC.
2. Project meeting and preparatory audit (optional)
Addressing any outstanding questions and defining the next steps. If necessary, the project meeting can be held on-site or a preparatory audit can be conducted.
3. On-site certification audit
Our auditors will conduct an audit at your location. This includes an evaluation of documents and an assessment of your ISCC EU system and its application to your daily business processes. DEKRA auditors also perform interim audits and sample inspections at third-party locations within the supply chain.
4. Issuance of the ISCC EU report and certificate
After successful completion of the audit, you will receive your audit report and ISCC EU certificate. Important to note: if your organization does not meet the ISCC EU standard criteria during the initial audit, the certificate will not be issued. In such cases, the auditors will return at a later date, once the deficiencies have been resolved. For re-certification, corrective actions must be taken within 40 days and verified by the auditor.
Re-certification audit
ISCC EU certificates are valid for twelve months. Sixty days before the expiration of this period, re-certification is required. The re-certification audit should be scheduled in such a way that there is no gap between the two certifications.

Our commitment to power to X
DEKRA is actively involved in Power-to-X (PtX), an initiative that promotes the conversion of renewable energy into fuels, gases, and other products. This process is based on green hydrogen and contributes to the transition to carbon-neutral energy sources and the achievement of ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in various sectors. ISCC has developed a special approach for the certification of Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBOs). This approach has been submitted for approval by the European Commission. Once approved, it will be possible to have RFNBOs certified by ISCC in the European Union.
