New Natrue label accreditation program

Natrue and IOAS (International Organic Accreditation Service) have launched an accreditation program that is expected to consolidate the trust in the Natrue label already chosen as a guarantee-seal for more than 100 brands all over the world.

Natrue is currently working with more than 20 Natrue-approved certifiers. The system of split responsibilities between Natrue and the certification bodies guarantees transparency and effectiveness and is a key contributor to the success of the label. The IOAS accreditation program will embrace internationally recognised procedures for the accreditation of the certification bodies and the manner in which they operate with respect to the Natrue label scheme. This program will then combine the deep understanding of the natural and organic cosmetic sector together with the most widely recognised procedures for product certification, leading to an unprecedented combination of knowledge and integrity in the interest of companies and consumers.
 

The accreditation program will be operational as of September 2013, allowing all current Natrue-approved certifiers together with new certification bodies wishing to certify Natrue to launch the application process.
