Setting Global Standards + Providing Solutions
In partnership with Control Union, INCCert created the Responsible Hemp Standard (“RHS“) a certification program that standardizes the production of industrial hemp for the global market.
Using chain of custody and track-and-trace technology, RHS verifies hemp raw materials, ensuring they are produced according to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), including sustainable farming and ethical labor practices, and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), validating consistent and controlled quality standards.
The RHS certification program is designed for manufacturers seeking to demonstrate their commitment to sourcing responsible hemp raw materials while providing full transparency to customers regarding the origin and sustainability of their products. This verifies claims and labels on products, fostering accountability and more empowered and informed consumers.
