This section contains the basic reference documents that make up the criteria for certification in Scotland.
The flow chart gives a useful guide as to how the overall process works, the Scheme Rules show how the Biofertiliser Certification Scheme actually operates, and the PAS110 contains most of the details of what an AD plant has to comply with to gain accreditation.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) issued a position statement on 1st March which recognises the PAS110 as a valid specification in Scotland, provided certain additional provisions are satisfied. The Quality Protocol does not apply in Scotland. See details of the SEPA decision.
