Most retailers require listing examinations or certificates of marketability (COM) from their suppliers before the first delivery of goods, based on the requirements of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. These examinations typically include:
- Declaration checks (Germany and other distribution countries)
- Sensory examinations
- Microbiological examinations according to ISO 17516
- Chemical, physico-chemical examinations
- Evaluation of results
