(Accreditation Pause) |
Certification Bodies listed in TABLE 3 have signed a contract with the
EUREPGAP Secretariat and are in the application process to receive
accreditation from their responsible Accreditation Body.
ALL CERTIFICATION BODIES LISTED IN TABLE 3 CAN ISSUE NON-ACCREDITED
CERTIFICATES THAT ARE ACCEPTED BY EUREPGAP MEMBERS. Each applicant is given
a period of six months to complete the required accreditation which includes
the issuing of non-accredited certificates as practical excercise. Such
non-accredited certificates are also accepted in the business-to-business
communication. Only Accredited Certifiers will be able to use the EUREPGAP
Logo on their certificates and promotion material.
EUREPGAP has already de-listed Certification Bodies and will continue to do
so to maintain the integrity of the system. Certifiers are encouraged to
obtain the relevant accreditation as soon as possible and are not encouraged
to issue too many non-accredited certificates, since in the case of a
de-listing, i.e. failure of the accreditation procedure, the certificate
owner, the grower or grower organisation, has to transfer his/her contract
to another accredited certifier, who will need to undertake additional
inspection and certification activities to hold up the validation of the
grower's certification status.
