ISO 22095 is an international standard on the chain of custody that helps to manage risks and to secure quality.

ISO 22095 applies to all materials and products. ISO 22095 can be used by any organization operating at any step in a supply chain, as well as by standard-setting organizations as a reference point for a specific chain of custody standards.

Why should you use ISO 22095?
Understanding the origin of input materials, product components, product outputs and the conditions under which they are produced is becoming increasingly important. Manufacturers want to demonstrate compliance with requirements regarding health and safety, as well as environmental, social, and quality-related aspects, while consumers or other end users need to be able to trust the claims made for these products.
ISO 22095 provides you with the unambiguous definitions of the different chain of custody models and corresponding requirements, which are independent of sectors, materials, products, and issues addressed.
ISO 22095 helps you to enhance the transparency of specific claims regarding materials or products and thereby support the reliability of these claims.
