When you visit our websites, you will notice certification logos from various regulatory bodies.
But what do these certifications mean for you and your business?
Here is what each certification represents and why it matters:
Non-GMO
Over the last decade, the phrase "genetically modified organisms," or GMOs, has become increasingly common in media coverage and consumer discussions. You may have found yourself wondering: what exactly is a GMO?
A GMO is a plant, animal, or microbe whose DNA has been modified in the laboratory using genetic engineering techniques to alter the characteristics of an organism or favor the expression of desired traits. The most common GMOs we encounter today are crops and livestock. Crops are modified to grow larger, faster, or resist pests and herbicides, while livestock may be bred to develop specific characteristics for food production.
You may be wondering why some people have concerns about GMOs. The primary concerns center around questions about long-term health and environmental effects, as genetic engineering is still a relatively recent technology. Some consumers and researchers have raised questions about potential impacts on allergenicity, environmental effects, and agricultural practices.
This has led PINAPUR by PARCHEM – fine and specialty chemicals, to prioritize providing a comprehensive array of non-GMO raw materials. We source from the most reliable suppliers in the industry and require documentation to verify the non-GMO status of all relevant products. We provide GMO statements for ordered products upon request.
Do you require a non-GMO raw material that we do not currently source? Simply let us know, and our dedicated technical team will work diligently to locate it for you.
USDA
In today's health -conscious society, being able to acquire organic raw materials is more important than ever. How do you know the product you are getting is truly organic? It is not enough for the product to be labeled organic; instead, the material needs to be certified organic. With PINAPUR by PARCHEM - Fine & Specialty Chemicals array of organic products certified by OneCert Inc., you can rest assured that you are receiving organic products of the highest quality. You can be confident that the material is being manufactured and stored in certified organic facilities and kept free from contamination.
Furthermore, we believe in utilizing a "Twice Verified" system when dealing with organic products. Not only does our Regulatory and Compliance department verify the validity of every organic certification, but we also have our partner, OneCert, verify the validity of the organic certification. Now you can just concentrate on creating a quality organic product and let us handle the rest.
ISO
International Organization for Standardization, or the more commonly known ISO, is a set of standards for creating a customer focused quality management system (QMS). Adherence to ISO has allowed PINAPUR by PARCHEM - Fine & Specialty Chemicals to process 98.8% of orders without incident. It has allowed us to instill trust into our growing customer base. Most importantly, it pushes us to respond efficiently to your needs and provide the best services possible. ISO provides a comprehensive description of standards that require adherence. Some guiding principles include:
· Motivation and implication of top management
· Continual improvement
· Risk assessment
· Implementation and review of corrective actions
· Strong customer focus
At our company it is not enough to be certified and adhere to ISO 9001:2015. We desire to utilize the standard to its fullest potential, growing our business, and providing the highest quality services to our valued customers. The primary way in which we verify optimal use of the standard is through audits of our system. ISO recommends internal audits to evaluate the effectiveness of the QMS. Here at our facility, it has been made policy to complete recurring internal audits of the ISO 9001:2015 QMS. We feel an internal audit alone is not enough to truly measure our adherence to the system. That is why after completing our internal audit, we contract a third party auditor to evaluate our QMS. We are happy to provide a copy of our ISO 9001:2015 certificate for download here.
