Eco-Checks in Compliance with EC-Regulation 834/2007

Ecological Controls for Natural Production

From the plants and seeds you use through free range livestock farming to requirements for goods declarations – EU legislation for organic farming comes with strict rules stipulating how agricultural eco-products are farmed and marked. As an accredited inspection body by the federal agency for agriculture and food (Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung, or BLE), we can inspect your farming operations in accordance with EU Organic Regulations.

Our special lab can also support you in all matters of traceability and demarcation from conventional products.
