The USCC is clarifying Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) Program procedures as we continue to improve and grow participation. We have recently upgraded our STA map and list. Now anyone can see your STA products and derivative products listed under each of your STA facilities. Specifiers and participating laboratories will more easily be able to see which products are in the STA program, and which are not. Often multiple products are enrolled by one company, and with the new website we now show more clearly what is enrolled.
For STA participants, please ensure when you submit your chain of custody form with your product sample to the laboratory, that the product name on the form matches what you have enrolled in STA, which is reflected on our webpage. The labs will not be able to give you test results on STA-branded Compost Technical Data Sheet (CTDS) paperwork if these product names do not match.
If you have any concerns or need clarifications, want to add products or correct your STA registration, please contact STA Program Manager Hilary Nichols.
