CERTIFICATIONS
AND WHAT THEY UNLOCK.

Live now

A certification is a third party attesting to something a buyer cannot verify themselves. Most take months to obtain, several require an on-site audit, and none of them can be started at the point a buyer asks — which is why they function as an access gate rather than a marketing badge.

What to know
What buyers actually require
The specific certification depends entirely on category and channel, and requirements are set by the buyer above whatever the law demands.
  • Food — BRC, SQF or FSSC 22000 for most major grocers
  • Devices — ISO 13485 quality systems
  • Security — ISO 27001 or SOC 2 for anything touching data
  • Sustainability, organic, fair trade and halal — claim-specific and audited
Audited is different from self-declared
A certification backed by an on-site audit carries weight precisely because failing it has consequences. A self-declaration carries the weight of the party declaring, which for an unknown supplier is very little.
They expire, and re-audit takes time
Certification bodies work on cycles with surveillance audits between full ones. A certificate that lapses puts you outside a buyer's approved list, and getting back on can take longer than getting on did.
What GRAJ records
Which certifications you hold, their issuer, credential number, issue and expiry dates, and the document itself. Expiry warnings arrive before the date rather than after, and a certification is never marked verified by the party holding it.
