Quality Certifications for Cone Manufacturing Facilities

Value of Quality Certifications

Third-party quality certifications provide independent validation of your manufacturing standards and can differentiate your brand in a competitive market. Many large dispensary chains and processors require certifications from their suppliers.

Relevant Certifications

• ISO 9001: The international standard for quality management systems. Demonstrates systematic quality processes that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.
• GMP Certification: Good Manufacturing Practice certification verifies that your facility and processes meet established production quality standards.
• FSC Chain of Custody: Certifies that your paper materials come from responsibly managed forests. Appeals to environmentally conscious customers.
• BRC Global Standard: A comprehensive packaging and materials safety standard increasingly requested by large buyers.

Certification Process

Pursuing certification requires significant preparation, documentation, and investment. Start by conducting a gap analysis comparing your current practices to certification requirements. Develop an implementation plan to close gaps, then schedule your certification audit. Plan for ongoing surveillance audits to maintain your certification.
