Why independent proof

Anyone can claim it. Few can prove it.

01

An independent expert panel

Every product is assessed by specialists in global regulation, toxicology, formulation and industry practice.

02

Credibility that stands apart

Brands and marketplaces are about to drown in self-declared proof. Independence is what makes yours believable.

03

Discovery and global reach

Certified products are easier to find on The Clean Sheet, with a record built to global benchmarks that opens doors to new markets.

Brands fund the assessment. They never buy the verdict. Status can be suspended or revoked when evidence changes.

TCCS certification

The output isn’t a logo. It’s a proof record.

Qualifying products get a public page that shows what was checked, what the evidence supports and what shoppers should know.

  • A product-specific certification decision
  • A readable summary of claims and testing
  • A live, QR-linked registry status
  • Suitability, cautions and scope of the assessment

The Clean Sheet is an independent private certification scheme being designed in alignment with ISO/IEC 17065 and ISO/IEC 17067. It is not currently accredited.

How the assessment works
  1. 1

    Tell us about your product

    Category, intended users, target markets, claims and current testing.

  2. 2

    Share your evidence confidentially

    Formula, label, test reports and manufacturing documents, under NDA.

  3. 3

    Expert panel assessment

    Assessed against TCCS. Existing reports count where they qualify; gaps are flagged.

  4. 4

    Decision and public record

    Qualifying products go live with their proof record and stay under ongoing assessment.

Good to know

Questions founders actually ask.

Not necessarily. Relevant reports are assessed for method, lab competence, product version and recency. Extra testing is only requested where evidence falls short.
