ISCC Material Lists

Description of Material Under ISCC

• Please be aware that ISCC certification covers all types of sustainable feedstocks, including biomass, renewables and circular materials.
• Therefore, the lists are not concluding but aim for harmonisation. Sustainable material may be declared more specifically on sustainability declarations, delivery documents or Proofs of Sustainability.

List of Materials Eligible for ISCC EU Certification

Please note that it is not the purpose of the list of raw material/feedstock to classify material as waste/residue or as being eligible for double-counting. The list of raw material/feedstock indicates materials which currently might be certified under the ISCC EU waste and residue certification process (in the following referred to as ISCC EU w/r process). As of September 2014, ISCC has included available information e.g. from EU Member State positive lists classifying material as waste/residue.

ISCC does not guarantee completeness, correctness and timeliness of the information regarding waste/residue classification. ISCC does not guarantee acceptance of waste/residue based products by the competent EU Member State authorities. Auditors and system users are obliged to investigate and research the eligibility of material in the targeted EU Member State. Acceptance of a final product (e.g. biofuel), where the feedstock has been certified according to the ISCC EU w/r process, is the decision of the EU Member State authorities where the final product comes to the market.

For amendments of the lists (e.g. to add an additional raw material / feedstock) please contact ISCC prior to issuing a certificate.

List of Materials Eligible for ISCC PLUS Certification

Please note that all materials from the lists of eligible materials for ISCC EU and ISCC CORSIA certification can also be certified under ISCC PLUS. However, materials from the lists of materials eligible for ISCC PLUS certification cannot necessarily be certified under ISCC EU or ISCC CORSIA.

If you are interested in the certification of raw materials or products under ISCC PLUS which are not listed, please contact ISCC in order to discuss possibilities for certification. ISCC may add materials to the list upon written request by the certification body prior to the audit.

List of Materials Eligible for ISCC CORSIA Certification

ISCC CORSIA certification can cover all types of feedstocks eligible for the production of CORSIA eligible fuels.

Please be aware that the eligibility of raw materials for certification under CORSIA may be limited by certain pathway specifications or the availability of default values for a given pathway or region. Next to each raw material included in the ISCC CORSIA list of materials, it is indicated which conditions and limitations, if any, must be considered with regard to its eligibility and certification.

List of Materials Eligible for ISCC Japan FIT Certification

The ISCC Japan FIT material list includes the materials classified by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as biomass fuel eligible for the Japan’s Feed-in-Tariff system. The materials accepted are those included in the positive list published by METI, which is referenced in the ISCC Japan FIT material list. For further information please also see the ISCC Japan FIT System Document.
