The register
Every certificate, answerable by its number
Emet keeps a register of every certificate it has issued — including the ones suspended and withdrawn — and answers for any of them. It is queried by number rather than published as a list, because a list of certificates is a list of clients.
The number is on the certificate, and the QR code on it comes here directly.
What you get back
A number that Emet issued returns its live status — in force, suspended, withdrawn, ended by agreement, or expired — with the products it covers and the date it runs to. A number Emet has never issued is answered as exactly that, distinctly from one that was simply mistyped. If a document in front of you bears a number that returns nothing, the document did not come from us.
Status is computed at the moment you ask, not copied from anywhere, so the answer is never a day behind. Check a number · check a document’s integrity code.
Why there is no list to browse
A browsable register is a directory of a certification body’s clients: who they are, what they make, and how many there are. That is commercially sensitive to the people who trusted us with it, and publishing it is a decision taken about them rather than by them.
The standard this scheme is written to align with does not ask for one. ISO/IEC 17065:2012 requires the body to keep the information, leaves what is published to the scheme, and sets a single floor: provide information, on request, about the validity of a given certification. That floor is what this page is.
Nothing is withheld from the person who needs it. A buyer with a pack in their hand has the number. An importer has the certificate. An auditor has both. What none of them needs is everyone else’s. The scheme sets out this decision.
If a certificate will not verify
Tell us. A number that should work and does not, a document that looks like ours and is not, a mark on a product we have never certified — those are the reports we most want, and you do not have to give your name to make one.
