There are a number of different certification systems in the world today covering a range of products and production methods.   These systems provide information and assurances about a wide variety of product and service attributes.  Examples of the range of activities that are certified today include:

•   Food (organic)
•   Electronics (UL)
•   Marine products (Marine Stewardship Council)
•   Management Systems (ISO)
•   Medical (AMA)
•   Accounting (CPA)
•   Forests (SFI, FSC, CSA)

There is growing interest in the certification of other materials as well as forests, and recognition that the source of a material is at least as important to environmental considerations as the nature of the material itself.   Dovetail is committed to promoting the wise use of all materials and providing information that allows individuals and organizations to make informed choices.
