Conventional assessment
There are 2 costs for restaurants that get certified through a conventional assessment and use the MSC ecolabel to show commitment to sustainable seafood sourcing:
1. Cost of MSC Chain of Custody certificate
The cost of certification for a conventional assessment can of a restaurant vary considerably.
In particular it is affected by
• How far the
certifier has to travel to your restaurant
• How complicated your
business model is.
• Which certifier carries out your audit
We estimate that an independent restaurant will normally only take about 1 day of an auditor's time.
