The Ecco Plus – Brand Registration and Certification Fee is required each time an operator submits a certification request against the Ecco Plus Brand, whether for an initial audit or a renewal of an existing certificate nearing expiration. It must be paid for each individual certification file and is a prerequisite for opening and processing the certification file.

Please note that this fee does not cover royalties for the use of the Ecco Plus trademark on final products; those are invoiced separately under the applicable Royalty Fee.

Payment of the Brand Registration and Certification Fee is mandatory to initiate and maintain certification status. It ensures adherence to the Ecco Plus normative documents and supports the consistency, credibility, and integrity of the certification scheme throughout each audit cycle.
