SCS
Where to go for an honest opinion
A star performer in measuring performance
Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) provides certification, auditing, and testing standards development services for a variety of different industries. Their goal is "to recognize the highest levels of performance in food safety and quality, environmental protection and social responsibility in the private and public sectors, and to stimulate continuous improvement in sustainable development."1 Their tests and standards for manufacturers in the building industry have long been recognized for superior accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Why everyone trusts SCS
There are three things set SCS apart in the reliability of their certifications. First, they are completely independent. Because they have no vested interest in the companies or products they certify, they can offer truly unbiased assessments. Second, they base everything on scientific methods of evaluation. If it can't be verified scientifically, it won't get certification. Third, they are comprehensive in their evaluations. They keep appropriate checks and balances in place to make sure nothing gets missed or overlooked.
The opinion that really counts
The result of all these unique efforts and principals is a highly accurate certification system that whole industries can rely on for precise evaluations and assessments. Over the years, Mohawk has undergone multiple assessments by SCS for a variety of different products and as a result has achieved numerous awards and certifications for sustainability.
