Official Document
Verification records prove that a specific shipment of goods has been produced according to a particular sustainability or organic standard. A transaction certificate is issued by an authorized body for every sale of certified linen to ensure the chain of custody remains unbroken. It links the buyer’s invoice and the original fibre certification to the seller’s production records.
Volume Verification
Auditing of the quantities listed on the document ensures that no more certified product is sold than was actually manufactured. When a mill receives a transaction certificate, they can use it as proof for their own customers that the fabric they are selling is genuinely sustainable. This practice prevents fraudulent claims and builds trust in the market for certified textiles.
The document includes the weight of the material, the lot numbers and the names of both the buyer and the seller.
Compliance Record
Maintenance of these files is a requirement for any company wishing to maintain their certification status. The transaction certificate is often the final piece of evidence needed for a brand to put a sustainability logo on their finished products. It provides a legal and audited trail from the field to the retail shelf.
