ISCC EU Certification Support

Document Preparation Checklist

Waste-to-bioethanol production. The mandatory documents, procedures, and evidence your facility must prepare before the ISCC EU certification audit.

01

Proof that the product qualifies as waste.

02

A confirmed mass balance and declaration system.

03

Verified GHG emission calculations.

MSE handles all aspects of this process, actively supporting your team in collecting and documenting the required information. Typical timeline from initiation to audit-ready status: 4–6 months.

01

General Management & ISCC Procedures

An internal management framework ensuring ISCC compliance at every operational stage.

02

Feedstock Origin & Waste Classification

Strict proof that the material is a genuine waste or residue, not deliberately produced.

03

Traceability & Supply Chain Documentation

The physical and documentary trail from origin to factory gate, and from factory to buyer.

04

Mass Balance System

Bookkeeping ensuring you never sell more certified bioethanol than the certified waste purchased, net of physical losses.

05

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Calculations

Because the feedstock is waste, extraction and cultivation emissions are zero. Only transport (etd) and processing (ep) are calculated.

06

Technical Documentation & System Boundaries

07

Metrology & Calibration

08

Legal & Environmental Compliance

09

Quality Control & Laboratory Operations

The mass balance is tied to physical properties; the auditor checks claimed waste volume against actual composition, net of water and impurities.

10

Internal Audit & Management Review

ISCC Document 201 prohibits an external certification audit before a documented internal assessment.

11

Subcontractors & Third-Party Warehouses

Auditors check everyone who handles certified material on the plant's behalf.

Review each item. Tick what is already in place; for items requiring preparation, MSE guides your team through the process. This checklist is provided by Metal Supply Experts GmbH for the addressee’s internal use.
