THE SERVICE
What it covers.
SASO provides a conformity service for biodegradable plastic products under the relevant technical regulation. The logo relates to products approved within that scheme and its permitted scope.
Eligibility depends on details such as material, thickness and product use. We review these details before the documentation and testing work is defined.
Who this service is for
- Manufacturers and importers of potentially covered polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) products.
- Suppliers preparing plastic bags or similar short-use products for a scope review.
- Businesses reviewing additive evidence and manufacturing documentation for an application.
OUR ROLE
How GoCertify helps.
- Check product use, material composition and thickness against the scheme scope.
- Review technical evidence and coordinate the required testing steps.
- Organise additive-sourcing and environmental-management records.
- Support MANEH application preparation and follow up through the review process.
GETTING PREPARED

COMMON QUESTIONS
A little more clarity.
Does the scheme cover all plastic products?
No. Product eligibility must be checked against the technical regulation. Material type alone is not enough to establish the applicable route.
Is an additive supplier’s statement enough?
It is only part of the evidence to review. The application also needs the relevant product testing and manufacturing documentation.
When can the logo be placed on the product?
Use the logo only after the applicable permission has been granted and within its approved product scope and marking conditions. We can help review those details with you.
GoCertify supports application preparation and follow-up. Approval and issuance remain with the relevant authority or certification body.
