The IAF and its accreditation body members invest significant effort and resource to maintain the integrity and consistency of the Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) through a peer evaluation process. This 2015 report sets out the detailed activity that is carried out as part of the peer evaluation process, to ensure that regulators, specifiers, and businesses can have confidence in accredited certification and the IAF Arrangement.

Note to AB list:

*The AB is in the IAF product MLA with Sub-scopes Level 4: GLOBALG.A.P. General Regulations and Level 5: GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance Control Points and Compliance Criteria. These ABs are or were already active in GLOBALG.A.P. Accreditation.

** These ABs are not yet active in GLOBALG.A.P. Accreditation. Therefore the AB is not yet in the IAF product MLA with Sub-scopes Level 4 and Level 5 for GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance but they can be chosen by a CB.
