FAQ
What is USDA Biobased Certification?
It is the USDA BioPreferred Program’s voluntary labeling initiative. It verifies your product’s biobased content through ASTM D6866 testing and lets you display the Certified Biobased Product label.
How long does certification take?
The USDA review window is typically 90 days from application to approval. With proper preparation and testing coordination, most products are certified within 3–4 months.
What does it cost besides your fee?
$400–$800 for ASTM D6866 lab testing per sample.
Which products qualify?
Most non-food, non-feed commercial and industrial products qualify if they meet USDA’s minimum biobased content threshold for their specific category — typically 25% biobased content.
Do I need to test my product before applying?
Yes. USDA requires ASTM D6866 testing from an approved lab. I coordinate this for you and ensure the Documentation of Sample Selection form is correct.
What is ASTM D6866 testing?
It is the standard test method that measures the biobased carbon content of your product. It confirms the percentage of renewable biological material versus petroleum-based content.
Can you guarantee approval?
No one can guarantee USDA approval. What I guarantee is a correct, complete application submitted properly the first time — eliminating avoidable delays and rejections.
What happens after I get certified?
You receive your Certified Biobased Product label. I guide you on label usage, federal procurement catalog listing, and marketing compliance.
Is this certification recognized by federal agencies?
Yes. Federal agencies are required to prefer certified biobased products over petroleum-based alternatives when cost and performance are comparable. This is mandatory purchasing preference.
