SNEVARA

Methodology

Everything we certify against is published here, in full, versioned. If a rule isn't in these documents, it isn't a rule. Anyone — clients, competitors, journalists, regulators — can read exactly how a claim gets verified and exactly what we charge.

Protocol Specification

v0.1 · 2026-06-11

The open technical basis of Snevara certification: event model, sealing rules, mass-balance invariants, anchoring, settlement profiles, sampling, and the honey category profile.

Certification Scheme Rules

v0.1 · 2026-06-11

How certification decisions are made: impartiality, auditor independence, the certification lifecycle, suspension and revocation, complaints and appeals. Accreditation path: NABCB (ISO/IEC 17065).

Fee Schedule

v0.1 · 2026-06-11

Published, fixed, outcome-independent fees (INR) for certification, lab verification, platform, and hardware — domestic and export grades. Appeals are free.

Versioning

Documents are versioned; the versions in force for any certificate are fixed at its issuance and printed on it. Changes are proposed publicly with a comment window before adoption, and every adopted change is logged with its rationale. Current status of all documents: v0.1 draft — published ahead of the honey pilot, expected to be revised from pilot evidence before first certificates issue.
