The Assofertilizzanti Quality Mark ensures compliance with the highest safety and sustainability standards in the production of fertilizers and biostimulants

(Arzignano, Vicenza. Italy) – Ilsa has obtained the Certiquality certification in accordance with the Assofertilizzanti Disciplinary Regulations for the year 2022. This significant achievement allows the company to proudly display the prestigious Quality Mark introduced in 2014, following the program agreement signed between Assofertilizzanti and ICQRF - Central Inspectorate for the Protection of Quality and Fraud Repression - the supervisory authority of the Italian Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Policies.

Ilsa has continuously obtained this recognition since its introduction, which testifies to its high standards of safety and sustainability, both in terms of production and organizational processes and in the realm of safety and environment.

ICQRF plays a fundamental role in safeguarding the quality, authenticity, and identity of agri-food products and agricultural production inputs, tackling unfair trade and fraud that threaten consumers' right to clear and accurate information. ICQRF carries out a program of checks aimed at verifying the labelling system to ascertain the completeness and correctness of the information provided, as well as subsequent laboratory characterization of the collected fertilizers.

In reference to this recognition, Andrea Panzolato, responsible for Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment areas at Ilsa, stated: "We are extremely proud to have been once again awarded the prestigious Assofertilizzanti Quality Mark, a testament to our commitment to ensuring the quality of our products and compliance with regulations. This important result is the fruit of teamwork and quality controls carried out in our in-house laboratory, which has recently been accredited with ISO17025:2017 certification issued by Accredia," explains Panzolato. "We will continue to work with the same rigor to guarantee the quality of our products, supporting farmers in adopting responsible and sustainable agricultural practices."

Thanks to the Assofertilizzanti Quality Mark, Ilsa further strengthens its position as a leading player in the innovative fertilizers and biostimulants sector, ensuring the supply of high-quality products that meet the highest safety and sustainability standards.
