Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
We herewith inform you about the following updates in the ISCC System. Please ensure that all relevant members of staff are informed about the update accordingly.
1) ISCC fulfils SAI Silver and SAI Gold
New opportunities have emerged for ISCC System Users in the global food market. ISCC certified companies now have the opportunity to fulfil next to the SAI Silver level also the SAI Gold level. This is applicable on a global level. The SAI (Sustainable Agriculture Initiative) is a Platform of the food industry to assess and improve agricultural sustainability. SAI has developed the Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA), which is used to benchmark existing codes and schemes against the SAI sustainability criteria.
Following a recent benchmark by the SAI Platform, the sustainability requirements of ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS have been determined as equivalent to FSA Silver level on a global basis. This allows ISCC certified system users around the world to sell all “ISCC COMPLIANT” products as "Equivalent to FSA 2.0 Silver".
Furthermore, ISCC has developed the voluntary Add-on “SAI Gold”, which can be applied on farm level. The Add-on ensures compliance with the FSA Gold level. This allows ISCC certified system users to sell all “ISCC COMPLIANT" products that also comply with the Add-on “SAI Gold” as "Equivalent to FSA 2.0 Gold".
For further information on the Add-on “SAI Gold“ please click here
The claim “ISCC COMPLIANT” assures that the whole supply chain up to the farm or plantation is ISCC certified. This means that ISCC Compliance is only given if the production of the raw material fulfils the ISCC sustainability requirements (see ISCC System Document 202 “Sustainability Requirements”). Material from other schemes recognised by the European Commission may be accepted under ISCC as “RED COMPLIANT” but not as “ISCC COMPLIANT”. For further information on claims please also see the ISCC System Update from 07 July 2015.
The compliance of ISCC with SAI opens new doors for ISCC System Users on a global level and enables them to access new markets with only one certification system.
2) New Version of ISCC EU System Document 202
ISCC has adjusted the ISCC EU System Document 202 “Sustainability Requirements for the Production of Biomass”. The adjusted document and a version highlighting all adjustments are available as download on the ISCC website.
A new audit procedure including the adjustments is available in the client section of the ISCC website (under “certification documents”).
The adjusted documents will enter into force with effect from 01st July 2016.
3) Update of ISCC EU List of Materials
ISCC has updated the list of materials eligible for certification under ISCC EU. A new product category for “Waste/residues from processing of vegetable or animal oil” has been included in Table 1 (Raw materials). Furthermore, the list of “intermediate goods” has been included in Table 2 (Intermediate and final products).
We herewith point out that System Users who are processing sustainable raw materials (as indicated in Table 1) into intermediate or final products (as indicated in Table 2) must be certified as conversion units.
4) Clarification: Collection of Municipal Solid Waste
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a waste which is generated by private households. Private households do not have to complete self-declarations and are not subject to audits. The company receiving MSW from private households will be audited against the requirements for collecting points. If the collecting point is further processing the MSW the collecting point must also be certified as conversion unit. A certified collecting point may use external service providers for transporting (collecting) the MSW on their behalf. Transport does not need to be certified under ISCC. However, during the audit of such a collecting point, a list of all service providers must be available including the associated contractual agreements.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Certyfikacja wolnych kwasów tłuszczowych (FFA) zgodnie z ISCC EU
Certyfikacja
wolnych kwasów tłuszczowych FFA jest możliwa zgodnie z ISCC EU, pod kilkoma
warunkami. Poniżej znajduje się część z wymagań jakie muszą spełnić kwasy
tłuszczowe aby mogły podlegać certyfikacji. Podwójne zaliczenie „double
counting” tak certyfikowanych FFA jest możliwe wyłącznie w przypadku posiadania
odpowiednich przepisów krajowych w tym zakresie.
Pochodzenie
kwasów tłuszczowych powinno być odpowiednio udokumentowane. Certyfikacji mogą
być poddane FFA, które powstały w wyniku naturalnych procesów wytwórczych w
olejarni, rafinerii, instalacji produkcji biodiesela.
1.
Kwalifikacja FFA jako odpad / pozostałość
2.
Kwalifikacja FF jako produkt uboczny
W
pierwszym przypadku istnieje możliwość certyfikacji w ramach systemu ISCC EU,
natomiast w drugim przypadku nie ma takiej możliwości. Należy również dodać, że
emisja dla kwasów tłuszczowych jest różna na punkcie zbiórki (FGP of waste). Emisja
GHG na tym etapie wynosi 0 gCO2eq/MJ

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
We herewith inform you about the following news and clarifications in the ISCC system:
1) Clarification on Multiple-Claiming
In the light of recent reports regarding unusually low price levels of biofuel from Poland the European Commission has sent a letter to the recognised voluntary certification schemes. In this letter, the Commission points out that multiple-claiming of biofuels in different EU Member States (MS) is not in line with EU biofuel policy, as enshrined in Directive 2009/28/EC (Renewable Energy Directive – RED). Multiple-claiming in this scenario refers to biofuel that has already benefited from public support in one MS but which in reality has not been put on the market in this particular MS, but was exported to another MS where it can benefit from public support for a second time. This would mean that the same fuel is claimed as sustainable biofuel twice.
Please also be aware that under ISCC it is not allowed to make claims for certified outputs under two or more certification schemes without having equivalent amounts of certified inputs. The auditor must always check prior to the audit whether a system user holds certificates from two or more certification schemes. If this is the case, the auditor must verify during the audit the mass balance under all schemes used. Please also see the ISCC system update as of 16 July 2012.
2) ISCC in Poland
From 01st of January 2017 onwards, all certification schemes active on the Polish market have to be entered in the register of the Polish Agricultural Market Agency (ARR). This requirement applies to certification schemes used by economic operators to fulfil the Polish biofuel quota obligation. This requirement does not affect biomass or biofuel exported from Poland to other EU Member States.
Please note, that ISCC will take all necessary actions to be present in the Polish market also in the future.
3) Country of Origin
We herewith point out again, that the information regarding the country of origin of of sustainable material is a mandatory requirement under ISCC. In the case of biomass from agriculture or products derived from such biomass the relevant country of origin is the country where the biomass is cultivated (i.e. the country where the farm is located). In the case of waste and residues or products derived from waste and residues, the country of origin is the country where the waste and residues occur or are generated (e.g. the country where a restaurant generating UCO is located).
A sustainability declaration for a delivery of sustainable material must include (among other data) the total amount of the delivery, the type of raw material and the country of origin of the raw material. If the delivery is derived from multiple raw materials and/or from multiple countries of origin the respective amount of sustainable material from the different sources must be stated. This can either be done by issuing separate sustainability declarations per raw material and country of origin or by issuing only one sustainability declaration. In case of issuing only one sustainability declaration, the amount of sustainable material must be stated per taye of raw material and country of origin.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Deklaracja emisji GHG z etapu transportu
If a System User receives a batch of sustainable material with a
Sustainability Declaration (delivery document) containing an individual
GHG value in kg CO2eq per ton of material, there are two options:
Option 1: The GHG value in kg CO2eq per ton of material contains the GHG emissions for upstream cultivation, processing and transport up to the supplier. The recipient of the batch is then responsible to calculate and add the GHG emissions of the transport from the supplier to its site (based on distance and mode of transport). This option is the general procedure if no further statement is made about the transport emissions (see Option 2).
Option 2: The GHG value in kg CO2eq per ton of material contains the GHG emissions for upstream cultivation and processing but not for transport. For some types of material or feedstock, Annex V of the EU RED contains disaggregated default values (DDV) for transport and distribution in g CO2eq per MJ of final biofuel. If such a DDV exists, System Users can refer to the DDV for transport & distribution instead of calculating the relevant transport emissions individually (see Option 1).
If a DDV for transport and distribution shall be used for a batch of sustainable product, the supplier of this batch must include an explicit statement on the Sustainability Declaration additionally to the individually calculated GHG value in kg CO2eq per ton of product. This statement is used on the Sustainability Declaration by all suppliers within the supply chain up to the final producer (e.g. biodiesel or bioethanol plant). The final producer then uses this DDV and includes it in the total emissions of the final product (e.g. biodiesel, bioethanol) in g CO2eq per MJ. Once the DDV for transport and distribution is applied for a specific batch, it is not possible to switch to an individual calculation of the transport emissions for this specific batch.
A clear statement on a Sustainability Declaration would e.g. be "EU RED disaggregated default value for transport and distribution to be added by the final producer".
If System Users apply Option 2, the explicit statement on the Sustainability Declaration will become mandatory on 01 February 2016.
