TYC Trace Your Claim Database

The TYC Trace Your Claim database is operated by an independent service provider and is open for all users certified under a voluntary certification scheme which is recognized by the European Commission or the authorities of an EU Member State.

The TYC database was developed to meet the rising demand for reliable product declaration and credible sustainability claims. Targeted users are those already certified under a sustainability certification system. In order to achieve economies of scale TYC was set up as an independent private company which is open for all users of voluntary certification schemes, all kinds of raw material and processing technologies. TYC takes the needs of all stakeholders into account and does not prefer specific industry segments or certification systems. Users can rely on highest data security standards with their account data, suppliers and customers strictly private.
Who can join

Every biomass producer and processor owning a valid certificate of a voluntary scheme as recognized either by the European Commission or a national authority can join Trace Your Claim. To become a user of the TYC database it is only necessary to apply for access to TYC on our ‘Register’ page and you will receive by email an access code to enter the TYC database.

One of the most important goals during the development of the TYC database and its further continuous improvement is to integrate different stakeholder needs Under ‘TYC features’ users have the opportunity to apply for amendments and additional features and functions. In the future these topics will be discussed within the TYC User Committee (kein Link) which is open for TYC users and certification bodies.
