Biodevas Laboratoires, an expert in natural solutions for agriculture, has obtained CE marking for its entire product range. With 24 approvals covering market gardening, arboriculture, viticulture, industrial vegetables, and field crops, these approvals attest to the reliability of Biodevas products and consolidate their position on the European market.
CE-certified Biodevas: a guarantee of safety and performance at the European level
The CE marking, obtained under Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, certifies that Biodevas products comply with the strictest standards in terms of safety, efficacy, and traceability. This European regulatory framework, which came into force in July 2022, aims to harmonize the requirements applicable to fertilizer products in order to guarantee their quality and reliability on the European market.
We now offer our partners and prospects a catalog of 24 products, broken down as follows: 9 PFC6, 8 PFC7, and 7 PFC1. This offering allows our distributors and farmers, regardless of their crops, to meet specific expectations while ensuring effectiveness and regulatory compliance.
These certifications are not mere administrative formalities: they are the result of a complex and demanding process undertaken by Biodevas to guarantee the quality and reliability of its products.
To obtain these approvals, Biodevas undertook extensive procedures to certify the compliance of each product with Regulation 2019/1009. This compliance is validated by an independent notified body.
This includes analyzing the composition, stability of components, and finished product, as well as classifying each one into functional categories (as listed in Annexes I and II of EC Regulation 2019/1009). Each formulation has been examined to ensure that it meets chemical, biological, and physical safety requirements, ensuring that it poses no risk to the user or the environment. Finally, agronomic efficacy was demonstrated through a large number of field trials conducted in accordance with CEN 17700 1 to 5 standards. This process concludes with a final inspection, confirming the traceability and compliance of production methods.
By meeting the strict criteria of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, Biodevas affirms its commitment to European farmers and consolidates its position as a trusted player in the biostimulant and natural fertilizer market. These approvals reflect a constant demand for safety, performance, and respect for the environment. Each certified solution guarantees farmers and our partners reliable and sustainable tools that are adapted to the challenges of modern agriculture.
Two concrete examples of approved products:
- ACTIBOSCA is approved in functional category PFC 6.B, corresponding to non-microbial plant biostimulants, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1009. Formulated from plant extracts classified as CMC 2 component materials, this product complies with the most stringent European standards for safety, efficacy, and traceability.ACTIBOSCA approvalACTIBOSCA its ability to improve agricultural yields, confirmed by rigorous technical analyses and field trials.
- SUPRAFRUCTA, meanwhile, is approved as PFC 7, a fertilizer blend combining PFC 6.B, a non-microbial plant biostimulant, and PFC 1.C, an inorganic compound fertilizer enriched with trace elements. This classification, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, guarantees its safety, efficacy, and traceability. Intended for fruit vegetables and flowers, SUPRAFRUCTA plant extracts, responsible for its biostimulant effect, with a mixture of essential trace elements such as boron, iron, and manganese. Designed to meet the specific needs of vegetable crops, SUPRAFRUCTA their development and contributes significantly to optimizing agricultural yields.
