The <em>Policy for Scope and Transaction Certificate<\/em> revision has been made as part of the development of the Materials Matter Standard to ensure alignment with the new standards system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<em> Policy for Scope and Transaction Certificates (TE-TXL-POL-203 \u2013 V4.0)<\/em> details criteria and guidance for licensed certification bodies to issue scope and transaction certificates in accordance with any Textile Exchange standard.

Textile Exchange welcomes open feedback on these topics, which include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sector-specific challenges, particularly for sales from final manufacturers to brands and for animal fibers (wool, mohair, and alpaca) prior to the spinning stage.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Further details about the calculation of material composition. Textile Exchange is developing specific calibration items on the topic of material composition which will be integrated into the final policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information about the Materials Matter Standard leadership criteria which are met by a specific certified organization (producer or first processor), or about any other optional criteria. This includes any information which is tracked through the supply chain for a specific product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note, that the following draft supporting documents are also open for feedback and are linked below for your reference: <em>Template for Scope Certificates (TXL-TEM-203 \u2013 V4.0), Template for Transaction Certificates (TXL-TEM-204 \u2013 V4.0),<\/em> and the<em> Scope and Transaction Certificate Standard Specific Details (TXL-POL-204 \u2013 V1.0)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consultation timeline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Policy for Scope and Transaction Certificates<\/em> draft is open for feedback from January 3, 2025, until January 31, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We value your input and encourage you to read through the draft policy and share your feedback using the links below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read through the draft <em>Policy for Scope and Transaction Certificates<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/knowledge-center\/documents\/scope-and-transaction-certificates-policy\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read through the draft <em>Template for Scope Certificates<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/knowledge-center\/documents\/scope-certificates-template\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read through the draft <em>Template for Transaction Certificates<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/knowledge-center\/documents\/transaction-certificates-template\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read through the draft <em>Scope and Transaction Certificate Standard Specific Details<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/knowledge-center\/documents\/scope-and-transaction-certificates-standard-specific-details\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please share your feedback using <a href=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.jotform.com\/243643931602050\">this form<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions on the policy revision, please reach out to <a href=\"mailto:standards@textileexchange.org\">standards@textileexchange.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Textile Exchange is pleased to announce that we have launched the public consultation for the draft Policy for Scope and Transaction Certificates.
