Guide / Verification

How to verify claims.

A quick check any retailer can run before putting a compostable pet product on the shelf.

Start with the licence number

A genuine certified claim should not rely on a leaf icon or a vague word like "eco". Look for the licence number beneath the certification mark. For AS 5810, that number should trace back to the ABA public register. For OK compost HOME, it should trace back through TUV Austria.

Match the certificate to the product

The company name, product type and material scope should match what is being sold to you. A real certificate should not feel borrowed from another supplier, another material or another product line.

Ask what ships with the order

For wholesale buying, the certificate is only the start. Ask for the specification sheet, material scope, batch records and any available test reports. The paperwork should be clear enough for your own team to understand.

AoraForge's rule is simple: if a claim cannot be checked on a public register, we do not make it.
