The ISCC system has more than 80 member organisations and approximately 10,000 certified sites globally. ISCC operates three sister certification schemes: ISCC EU (regulated biofuels under EU Renewable Energy Directive RED II\/III), ISCC PLUS (voluntary-market bio-based and circular materials in food, feed, chemicals, packaging, textiles, consumer goods, low-carbon technologies, Power-to-X products), and ISCC CORSIA (Sustainable Aviation Fuel under ICAO). ISCC PLUS certifies four material categories: Bio-Circular (waste and residues of biological origin including used cooking oil, tall oil, food waste, agricultural residues, forestry residues); Circular (recycled fossil-based waste including mixed plastic waste, waste textiles, end-of-life tires, post-industrial plastic scrap); Bio (sustainably grown agricultural feedstocks and sustainable forest biomass including sugarcane, vegetable oils, starches, cellulose pulp, with binding zero-deforestation policy); and Renewable (materials using renewable energy as integral input including Power-to-X products such as green hydrogen, e-methanol, renewable-power-derived ammonia). Chain-of-custody with mass-balance methodology is the operational mechanism, with annual on-site recertification audit per certified site. ISCC PLUS is compatible with ISO 14001, offers an EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) add-on for relevant commodities, provides defensible data for EU CBAM compliance preparation, and is recognised by Japan's METI under the JISCC framework for biomass and biofuels imports. ISCC PLUS certification works through ISCC-accredited Certification Bodies (TUV, SGS, DQS, SCS Global Services, Bureau Veritas, AmSpec, others) that hold ISO\/IEC 17065:2012 accreditation from IAF-member national accreditors. Honest scoping note: ISCC does not issue practitioner credentials directly; auditors operate under Certification Bodies. Panit Chancharoonpong's ISCC PLUS competence is applied at the audit stage of CB engagements; certificates are issued to operators (not auditors) and listed on the ISCC public database at iscc-system.org. The credential is the seventh and final anchor in Othello's ESG-assurance cluster alongside AA1000AS ACSAP, ISO 14064 Lead Auditor (CQI\/IRCA), TGO CFO and CFP Auditor, Verra Lead Assessor, CORSIA Verifier, and ICVCM CCP.\", \"hasCredential\": [{\"@type\":\"EducationalOccupationalCredential\",\"credentialCategory\":\"ISCC PLUS Audit Framework - applied competence at audit stage\"}]},\n    {\"@type\": \"BreadcrumbList\", \"itemListElement\": [\n      {\"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 1, \"name\": \"Home\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.othelloshop.com\/\"},\n      {\"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 2, \"name\": \"Certifications\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.othelloshop.com\/certifications\/\"},\n      {\"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 3, \"name\": \"ISCC PLUS\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.othelloshop.com\/certifications\/iscc\/\"}\n    ]},\n    {\"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [\n      {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is ISCC and what does ISCC PLUS specifically certify?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) is an independent multi-stakeholder initiative founded in 2006 to certify sustainable, fully traceable, deforestation-free supply chains.
