RHP Quality Certification
Foundation RHP is an organization for quality control of horticultural substrates in Europe, based on chain control. RHP checks raw materials and compositions of substrates according to established standards and requirements. These standards are based on chemical, physical, phytogenic and common aspects. After analyzing and approval, the substrate receives the RHP quality mark. This means that substrates with the RHP quality mark are safe, reliable and specifically fit for the purpose. Under the RHP quality mark products can be traced back to the original constituents. The independent Certification Institute ECAS checks production and files regularly to confirm that substrates are produced in conformity with the specifications and demands.

The aim will be rehabilitation to original natural conditions, as close as possible and practically feasible. The RPP certification scheme consist of five chapters on production and one on the Chain of Custody: Legality, Good governance, Site selection, Site preparation and peat extraction, After-use/Rehabilitation, Chain of Custody and RPP-labelling.

Forest Certification PEFC and FSC
PEFC™ and FSC® systems promote ecologically, socially and economically sustainable forest management. The requirements of both systems for both forest management and the chain of origin are based on extensive stakeholder cooperation.
PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) is an international forest certification system promoting ecologically, socially and economically sustainable forestry throughout the world. To meet PEFC certification requirements forest management must satisfy certain standards with regard to biodiversity, forest health and maintenance as well as recreational use. In addition, there are requirements for following the passage of raw materials and wood-based products throughout the whole supply chain. These guarantee that raw materials are from certified forests.
FSC certification confirms that the forest is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability. The principles have been developed to be applicable worldwide and relevant to all kinds of forest ecosystems, as well as a wide range of cultural, political and legal settings.
