GLOBALG.A.P. Certification

GLOBALG.A.P. - the GFSI recognized label for ecological responsibility and integrity

The GLOBALG.A.P. CoC Standard identifies the status of your product throughout the entire process from farm to retailer. Certification to this standard  is a visible sign of responsible production that respects our ecology and the environment. It covers plants, farm animals and aquaculture and is recognised at farm level by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). The strict requirements for handling and proper separation of certified and non-certified products at all levels of the supply chain give consumers transparency and security, so you have a head start in the competitive market. TÜV NORD CERT offers certification to the GLOBALG.A.P. CoC standard for fruit and vegetables and for aquaculture.

GLOBALG.A.P. is the only aquaculture standard recognized worldwide at the farm level by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

GLOBALG.A.P.: Certification with TÜV NORD CERT

Before you commission TÜV NORD CERT with your certification, you can perform a self-assessment using the GLOBALG.A.P. Standard Checklists, available publicly on the GLOBALG.A.P. website. You are also very welcome to contact us for more details.  When you place your order, you will first be assigned a GGN or CoC number, and your third-party inspection will be carried out by specialists from TÜV NORD CERT. If you pass the certification process, we will issue you with the certificate and register your organisation  in the GLOBALG.A.P. database.

How to become a licensee of the GGN Label for GLOBALG.A.P. CoC Version 6.0:

Companies that package products in consumer packaging, i.e. packers, processors and distributors, can apply for the GGN label as follows:

  1. Get certified according to the GLOBALG.A.P. Supply Chain (CoC) standard.
  2. Ensure that the farms you source from have a valid certificate for the Integrated Farm Assurance Standard (IFA) and a GRASP evaluation (GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice) with the result "fully compliant".
  3. Make sure your suppliers hold CoC certification and that you sell to CoC-certified distributors or directly to retailers/consumer-orientated businesses.
  4. Apply for your licence for the GGN Label via the GGN Label portal (www.ggn.org). To do this, you have to establish an account on the GGN website.
  5. Create your profile on the GGN Label portal – instructions on how to do this can also be found on the GGN website.
