Approved Certification Bodies
All Certification Bodies that have received full ISO Guide 65 (EN 45011) accreditation to the scope of EurepGAP "Fruit and Vegetables" and are fully approved to carry out EurepGAP Certification to that scope are listed in TABLE 1 (with headquarter in Country) and TABLE 2 (with local office in Country). Only these Accredited Certifiers are allowed to use the EurepGAP Logo on their certificates and promotion material and will allow growers to do the same according to their certification agreement. Click on the certifier's name and get more details (Contacts in countries they operate).(Those certifiers that are in the application phase and have been given a several-month provisional approval, are listed in "TABLE 3" below on the bottom of this page.) 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 encouraged not 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 all contracts for fruit and vegetables to another accredited certifier, who will then need to undertake additional inspection and certification activities to uphold the validation of the grower's certification status.
Table 1 Accredited CBs with headquarter in Country
*Accreditation issued by an AB that has signed the MLA
within the ISO Guide 62 or Laboratory area and that is involved in the
development of an IAF methodology and criteria for peer assessment on
ISO Guide 65 (product Certification). The EUREPGAP TSC will accept
accreditations issued by: ANSI, INMETRO (Brazil), JAS-ANZ (NZ/AUS),
SANAS (RSA) and EMA (Mexico) until this MLA is in force and signed.
