It is with great pride that we announce ISO 21469 accreditation of our French affiliate Christol-Grease in Niort. In marketing lubricants for foodgrade applications, it is becoming increasingly important to demonstrate compliance with this new system. Whereas USDA H1/H2 classifications only deal with the product contents, ISO 21469 is an all embracing hygiene standard with an end-to-end quality control of the entire process from each individual component in the formulation through manufacturing, packaging, handling and use. This new international standard is applicable to all lubricants intended for use in food production as well as in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and animal feed industries. Included in the accreditation process is a physical audit of the manufacturing facilities focussing on hygiene conditions and verification that all the ingredients used on site correspond to the components in the formulation submitted. AXEL offers a rebranding of our already approved and certified products as well as outsourcing of your own formulations in order to gain full compliance with the ISO standard.
