System Integrity via Certification Body Administration
GLOBALG.A.P signs service agreements with independent Certified Bodies (CBs) which act as independent auditing companies. The agreements ensure a standardized high level of quality and integrity.
GLOBALG.A.P has established a global integrity programme where all CBs are checked.
CBs are not permitted to support certified or controlled farms on a consultation basis and must have at least three years of product experience in the food industry.
The GLOBALG.A.P certification allows producers all over the world to demonstrate their compliance with the standard. Producers who wish to be certified can choose from the list of approved Certification Bodies. CBs who wish to offer certification services can enter their first application under Registered Users.
