You fill out an application, indicating in which type of audit(s)/assessment(s) you are interested. We then provide you with an estimate (doesn’t include auditor’s travel expenses), a Sublicense Agreement, and a Service Contract, all for you to sign and return to us. A down payment will be required prior to the audit, and we match you up with an auditor trained and qualified in your particular type of audit. We work with you and the auditor to plan the audit visit at the time that makes the most sense for you (e.g. during harvest season). Prior to the audit we make sure you have all of the Normative Documents you need, such as General Regulations and Checklists pertaining to your audit scope.
GLOBALG.A.P. audits look for evidence of adherence to clearly laid out critical control point criteria. Some of these are “major musts”, some “minor musts”, and some are “recommendations”. In order to pass an audit, a producer must successfully demonstrate adherence to ALL major musts and at least 95% of minor musts. (Recommendations are not included in the calculation but are encouraged as best practices and included in the final report.)
When the auditor arrives on audit day(s) there will be an opening meeting where expectations are clearly outlined, followed by a visit of sites and review of recordkeeping. During the closing meeting at the conclusion of the audit the auditor will tell you of any non-conformances that were observed, if any. You then have 28 days to address these non-conformances and submit evidence to your auditor that correct the non-conformances and/or adequately prevent them from happening again. Once you have done this, a final decision on your certification will be made within 28 days. If certified, you will receive a GLOBALG.A.P. Certificate and Report electronically from CCI, and you will be listed as a GLOBALG.A.P. Certified producer on the GLOBALG.A.P. online database. This certification will be good for one year.
