RHP quality mark

For lime products with the RHP quality mark, specific requirements are set for the fineness of the lime, so that it can quickly bring the pH of growing media to the desired level. Because lime is a mineral, the product is checked very regularly by an RHP approved laboratory on the chemical composition and in particular on contamination with trace elements.
RHP certified products are free of contamination with heavy metals, radioactivity, weed seeds and pathogens, according to the RHP standards. The RHP quality mark requires full control of production processes in order to effectively exclude possible contamination in the supply chain. This is the most effective approach to offer growing media that are clean and can be used without risks for the culture. During the inspections, the production processes are accurately assessed.
