Certification SURE-EU

The path to SURE-EU certification

SURE-EU certification ensures that companies meet the requirements for sustainable and traceable supply chains in the European market. Registration in the SURE-EU scheme is the first step toward demonstrating compliance with the guidelines and gaining access to corresponding market opportunities.

Early registration enables efficient and structured handling of the certification process.

Take the next step toward SURE-EU certification now and secure access to sustainable markets.

Registration with SURE

	Companies can register for the SURE-EU scheme in the SURE database.
	The registration process is completed as soon as the system contract, signed by SURE with the participant number, is available.
	Go Start the registration process directly

Selection of a certification body

	In addition to registering in the SURE-EU scheme, it is necessary to select a certification body recognized by SURE-EU. The certification body checks compliance with the sustainability criteria in accordance with the SURE-EU scheme principles in the company
	Go List of Certification Bodies Approved by SURE-EU

Certification process

	Registration in the SURE database for the SURE-EU scheme
	Selection of a recognized certification body
	Conclusion of a contract with a recognised certification body
	Arrange an audit appointment with a recognized certification body
	Collection and documentation of all relevant evidence - Internal preliminary review (optional, but recommended)
	Audit by a recognised certification body - Examination using the SURE-EU checklists
	Issuance of the SURE-EU certificate upon successful audit by the recognized certification body - Validity: usually 1 year
	Annual re-auditing for renewal by the recognised certification body - interim review of changes by the recognised certification body
	Reporting of annual certified quantities to the SURE-EU scheme- transparency for authorities and market participants

Handling sustainable goods

	As soon as the certificate has been issued by a recognised certification body, there is the authorisation to market or trade sustainable biomass, biomass fuels and/or electricity, heating or cooling as sustainable within the meaning of the Renewable Energy Directive.
	Before purchasing sustainable material, it is important to check whether the respective supplier has a valid certificate .
	All certificates and control certificates issued in the SURE-EU scheme can be viewed in the public certificate overview .
	In addition, it must be ensured that both incoming and outgoing delivery documents contain all the necessary information in accordance with the SURE-EU requirements.
	For more information, see the SURE-EU Scheme Principles .

Certification Bodies

Certification with a system

Granting of approval to operate as a recognized certification body under the SURE-EU scheme

The certification bodies approved by SURE verify the sustainability criteria based on the SURE-EU scheme principles. Anyone wishing to become a certification body or auditor for SURE must therefore meet specific requirements.

The qualifications required to meet the criteria are checked by SURE during the registration process. If all requirements are met, the certification bodies and auditors are approved for the SURE-EU scheme.

Would you like to become part of the SURE-EU scheme? We look forward to receiving your inquiry at info[at]sure-system.org.

Certification under the SURE-EU scheme is carried out exclusively by approved, independent certification bodies. Only they are authorized to conduct audits and issue certificates on behalf of SURE.
