Protecting Human Health Through Verified Standards
ECCO exists to protect human health through science-backed certification. We certify brands that exceed exceptional standards and give people confidence in what they consume.
Our vision: clean, verified products for people who care about what goes into their body. Because knowing what you consume shouldn't be a luxury.
What's Really in Your Cannabis?
Most consumers have no idea what contaminants might be in their products. Pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents — without proper testing, you're left guessing. That's a health risk.
Independent, Third-Party Verified
We put products through rigorous, independent testing so you don't have to guess. When you see the ECCO seal, you know it's been verified for safety, quality, and environmental responsibility.
Your Path to Certification
Preliminary Enrollment
Ready to prove your products are the real deal? Start by telling us about your brand and what you're bringing to the table.
Initial Screening
We take a close look to make sure your brand aligns with our standards. Think of it as the first handshake.
Testing & Evaluation
This is where the science kicks in. Independent labs put your products through rigorous testing — the same way a consumer would use them.
Certification Decision
Our certification committee reviews everything and makes the call. No shortcuts, no exceptions — just the data.
Certification Mark
You made it. Your products earn the ECCO seal — a signal to consumers that what they're getting is clean, safe, and verified.
Compliance Monitoring
Certification isn't a one-and-done deal. We keep checking to make sure your products stay up to standard.
Annual Re-certification
Every year, we run it back. Standards evolve, and so should your products. That's how trust is maintained.
Know What You're Consuming
Knowledge is power — especially when it comes to cannabis. We break down the science, the standards, and the stuff that actually matters so you can make informed choices.
