If you are unsure, contact us with a short overview of your supply chain, including materials received, supplier certification, processing methods, and end use of the products.
Start your application process in our ISCC BrandPortal by filling out the registration form. Afterwards, you’ll receive a link to access the licence application form. Submit an application for the brand(s) you wish to include under the licence.
We will review your submission and determine whether a licence can be granted or further information is needed.
Once your application has been approved, we will ask you to provide detailed information about your company, the associated brand(s), and the scope of the licence. Based on this information, we prepare the licence agreements.
After the agreements are signed and the effective date has passed, your company becomes an official ISCC licensee and receives full access to the ISCC BrandPortal to manage and monitor your licence data.

Your finished goods will also be published in the ISCC Licence Database once they are launched on the market.
