The USCC’s Seal of Testing Assurance Program (STA)
If it isn’t STA compost…….What is it?

The US Composting Council (USCC) was formed in 1990. One of the primary points of conversation during those early meetings was the question, ‘What is compost’? The answer to this question could not begin to be realized until the industry knew what specific questions to ask regarding the various properties of compost. It took the USCC another 10 years to begin to derive a scientifically valid, and the beginning of a reasonable answer, to those questions. That answer is the Seal of Testing Assurance Program (STA).

The USCC is primarily an educational organization, whose objective is to raise the level of professionalism within the composting community as well as to promote the various benefits and uses of compost. A basic understanding of what compost is was an obvious foundation of knowledge required in order to accomplish these objectives. There were no uniform, nationally accepted tests and no laboratory analysis developed to test compost prior to the year 2000. Different test labs in different parts of the US performed whatever tests that they believed were appropriate to identify the properties of compost. These tests, however, were derived from soil testing procedures. Soil testing, based primarily on a ‘dead’ mineralized material, was not and could not be indicative of what to look for in compost, a product that is alive with a variety of useful microorganisms. Significant changes were obviously needed in order to accomplish the tasks and answer this 10 year old question.

Compost research scientists and compost experts from across the US were brought into a consensus building process to address the ‘What is Compost’ question. An interchange of thoughts, theories, research and testing procedures took place via meetings, Email and telephone conversations. The end result was the development of the TMECC (Test Methods for the Examination of Composting and Compost). This series of physical, chemical and biological testing was all designed specifically with compost in mind. It is the scientific foundation of the STA Program and it begins to answer this 18 year old question, of ‘What is Compost’.

The STA Program is a compost specific testing, labeling and information disclosure Program. It is designed to raise the professionalism of compost producers by having them test and label their product just like any other mainstream horticultural product on the market. The key elements of the STA Program include the following:
Key Elements of the STA Program:

• All enrolled manufacturers or marketers (“Participants”) will regularly sample and test their compost products based on production volumes, or as otherwise prescribed by the STA Program administrators for each product that they enroll.

• Participants will complete test analyses for the compost properties listed below and all testing required by applicable State and/or Federal regulation to assure public health/safety and environmental protection at the frequency so regulated.

• The STA suite of tests include; pH, bioassay (maturity), soluble salts, stability,
nutrient content (total N, P2O5, K2O, Ca, Mg), particle size, moisture content,
pathogens (Fecal Coliform or Salmonella), organic matter content and trace metals (EPA Part 503 regulated metals)

• All lab analyses will be conducted at laboratories which have certified that they are capable of performing the test methods specified in the Program Rules. Test methods used in the STA Program are found in the Test Methods for the Examination of Compost and Composting Manual (TMECC), jointly published by the USDA and the USCC (2002 publishing as a part of the USDA National Resource Conservation Technical Bulletin Series).

• The Participants, or their compost testing lab, will provide the appropriate lab analyses results to the USCC at the prescribed frequency.

• All Participants will make test results available to any person, upon request, using the STA Program’s “Compost Technical Data Sheet” (CTDS). The CTDS shall include:

1. detailed directions for product use (actual compost application rates     and/or depths)

2. a list of product ingredients (use directions and product ingredients shall     be provided by the STA participant)

3. analytical test results (from a certified STA test lab

• A Participant’s composting facility must certify that it is in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations with respect to the certified compost product(s), and it must remain compliant to remain in the STA Program.

• The USCC will certify an applicant’s compost product on the basis of the criteria specified in the “Program Rules”, allowing Program involvement with respect to the approved product, and use of the STA Program Logo and promotional opportunities. If a compost manufacturer or marketer represents multiple facilities, the compost product from each individual facility requires separate enrollment in the Program.

It should be obvious that the cost and operational responsibility required under STA Program Rules is significant to a compost producer. This is intentional with the goals being to increase both consumer confidence and the ultimate success of compost use in the field. STA Program compost should:

• Improve field results (decrease failures in the field) - provides end users with the product quality and application information they need to use compost properly, and for optimum results

• Helps end users identify customer-oriented composters - helps end users identify composters who are rigorously testing their compost products and providing end-use information

• Improve customer satisfaction - assists compost end users make more informed purchasing decisions

Please visit the US Composting Council website at: www.compostingcouncil.org, and click on ‘STA’ under the Programs header to learn more about this valuable and exclusive Program managed by the USCC. You’ll also find a list of all of the participating STA compost producers and certified labs on this site.
