    • Biochar companies register via the Carbon Standard form sheet. The producer will then receive their login to the secured EBC website where they are requested to provide all necessary information about the company and the pyrolysis technology they use.
    • Following a first verification of the technical information and personal phone contact with the producer through Carbon Standards International AG, the company information is transmitted to the accredited inspection and certification body: CERES AG (https://www.ceres-cert.de/en/home).
    • The producer will then need to sign the inspection contract for the EBC certification from CERES AG.
    • Once the producer has signed the inspection contract, Carbon Standards International AG will prepare and coordinate the Technical Audit with the biochar-producing company. Instructions are given in regard to the EBC methodology, the EBC documents, the protocols to be kept, and the procedure for the annual inspection by CERES AG.
    • The certified company will appoint a quality manager who will be the direct contact for Carbon Standards and CERES AG.
