You can search the full list of approved CBs by region, country, scope, sub-scope, and status.

Please note: If you do not filter your search, or filter only according to region and/or country and/or status, your search results will also show CBs that offer certification against benchmarked schemes which GLOBALG.A.P. cooperates with, but which may not have approval for any GLOBALG.A.P. standard directly.

In the results table below we provide you with all the information you need to contact the different CBs. This will help you in your process of evaluating and comparing the various CBs to find the one that best suits your needs.

CB Status

A CB can have one of three statuses:

Provisionally approved: The CB has successfully passed the first steps of the GLOBALG.A.P. approval process in accordance with the general regulations part III and is allowed to issue non-accredited certificates to a limited number of producers for a respective scope and sub-scope(s).

Approved: The CB has completed all the steps of the GLOBALG.A.P. approval process (including accreditation) and can issue an unlimited number of accredited certificates for a respective scope and sub-scope(s).

Suspended: The CB has been given a red card and is suspended in accordance with the general regulations part III, section 9.3.4. 

Performance Rating

Performance ratings were established to promote continuous improvement of the CB. Regardless of their rating, all CBs listed may be chosen for certification.
Temporary suspension (red card) and cancelations of a CB are explicitly indicated next to the CB name. These CBs cannot be chosen for certification while the sanction is in effect.

Ratings range from 1 to 5 stars:
1 Unacceptable, low performance
2 Major improvement necessary
3 Some improvement necessary
4 Good performance
5 Excellent performance

Hover your mouse over the stars in the performance rating column to see the key performance indicators (KPIs) used for the rating.

Rating pending: There is not yet enough evidence collected within the evaluation criteria to establish an overall KPI rating. This does not mean bad performance.
