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.
