What this certification verifies

- Absence of harmful substance migration beyond permitted limits

- Material safety for repeated food contact

- Compliance with applicable chemical and consumer safety thresholds

What this certification does not verify

- Cutting performance or edge retention

- Mechanical durability or wear resistance

- Manufacturing method or craftsmanship

- Product performance beyond food-contact safety

The supporting LFGB certification document is provided below for independent review.

SGS Certification

Independent inspection and testing verification.

SGS certification documents inspection and testing activities performed by SGS, an independent third-party organisation specialising in verification, testing and conformity assessment.

For FireForge knives, SGS documentation confirms that specified materials, components or processes have been evaluated against defined technical criteria at the time of testing.

Scope of application

- Material and component testing

- Verification against defined technical specifications

- Independent third-party assessment

What this certification verifies

- Conformity of tested samples with stated technical criteria

- Material integrity within the scope of the performed tests

- Test results issued by an independent inspection body

What this certification does not verify

- Universal or ongoing product conformity

- Long-term durability beyond tested parameters

- Manufacturing consistency across all production batches

- Product performance, sharpness or functional use

The supporting SGS certification document is provided below for independent review.

FSC® Certification

Responsible sourcing of wood-based materials.

FSC® certification verifies that wood-based materials used in FireForge knife handles originate from responsibly managed forests and controlled sources, in accordance with Forest Stewardship Council® standards.

For FireForge knives, FSC® compliance documents traceable sourcing practices for applicable wooden components and supports responsible forest management.

Scope of application

- Wood and wood-based handle components

- Traceable sourcing from certified or controlled sources

- Environmental and chain-of-custody requirements where applicable

What this certification verifies

- Responsible forest management practices in the supply chain

- Traceability of certified wood materials

- Compliance with FSC® environmental and sourcing criteria

What this certification does not verify

- Mechanical performance or durability of handles

- Product safety or food-contact suitability

- Manufacturing processes unrelated to wood sourcing

- Overall product quality or functional performance

The supporting FSC® certification document is provided below for independent review.

Verification, not claims

Compliance documented. Performance defined elsewhere.

Certifications document regulatory compliance and material conformity.
They do not define cutting performance, durability or functional behaviour.

All supporting documentation is provided for independent review to ensure transparency, traceability and accountability within the applicable regulatory scope.
