Jordan TRC recently introduced a new certificate format. One of the important changes is the new format does not mention any requirement to include the TRC Certificate Number as part of the product’s label, which the old certificates required. Following a meeting by our local team with TRC officers, we have confirmed that TRC has suspended the previous label requirement while they consider updates. Newly certified products will not need to include the certificate number as part of the product label. Please contact us for more information.
