ETKO certification program was originated by two agronomists who were consulting for the organic producers and traders. This beginning set a quantitative agenda for the comprehensive program, which was to be developed. Through the addition of specific skills, and with appropriate technical and legal advice, the program has been carefully developed into a complete organic certification service.

ETKO certification services comply with the requirements of international accreditation standards, ISO/IEC 17065:2012.

Complementary services to certification program may be provided to clients, these services cannot include consultancy. In this respect, consultancy does not include professional and technical information exchange which is the requirement of an inspection which is expected to be value added and meaningful to the client.

ETKO provides its services to all potential clients complying with the relevant standards and requirements, not differentiating for the size, financial status, and number of certificates issued of the client. Application and certification processes are not accelerated nor slowed down consciously.

ETKO’s program is designed to certify, as having been grown and / or processed according to an international standard / regulation, the actual product, which is destined to enter into market distribution. Every step of the contributory chain from the land on which the product is grown, to the producer growing the product, to the post-harvest facilities cleaning, processing and storing the product must be inspected and certified. This is not limited to food products only but also applicable for any other specific processing such as for textile fiber production, garments, chemical and other inputs, accessories used for processing and manufacturing, plastic, leather, paper and controlled wood products, and for cosmetic, hygiene and cleaning products related processing. Through this approach, certified finished products can convey the confidence that all contributed materials and / or processes have been equally and individually certified.

Fundamental to this program is the explicit understanding that it requires the full faith and confidence of all participants. Applicants are obliged to adhere to all of the terms and conditions of the program; and an agreement to that effect must be executed prior to commencement of the certification.
