Start with the material in the product appendix
The published SGS scope certificate is SGC-GRC05767-GRS-2026-05, issued on June 11, 2026 and valid until June 10, 2027 as printed. It identifies Newin Best with TE-ID TE-00303343. The hard-goods product appendix lists foam mats with recycled post-consumer polyethylene (PE) and calcium carbonate; one listed composition also includes polyethylene. It does not establish that every EVA mat in our catalogue is GRS covered.
Scope certificate versus transaction certificate
A scope certificate describes the certified organization, facilities, processes and product scope. It is not proof that an arbitrary shipment is certified. The document expressly points buyers to a valid transaction certificate or equivalent covering delivered goods. Review shipment-specific evidence with the supplier and certification body before using a certified-product claim.
Ask about recycled percentage and claim wording
The appendix does not state a numerical recycled percentage for these entries and includes a GRS (No Label) grade. Do not invent a recycled percentage or assume packaging-logo permission from the certificate. For a buyer searching for “GRS recycled EVA mats,” first establish whether the proposed material is EVA, PE or another construction, then verify the approved scope and intended claim.
Translate sustainability goals into an order specification
Provide your required recycled-material category, intended use, finished dimensions, quantity and packaging claim. Ask the team to identify the exact covered product and process route. The scope lists extrusion, manufacturing and packing. Review a sample for dimensional fit and handling, and arrange the product-safety evidence separately; recycled content by itself does not prove toy safety or chemical suitability.
Buyer questions before a recycled foam mat order
Is the model covered? Match it to the appendix rather than the catalogue heading. What document proves this shipment? Request the appropriate transaction evidence. Can we print a GRS logo? Confirm the claim and label rules with the certification body. Does the certificate authorize all future orders? Check validity, the scope and the shipment records each time.
