GLOBALG.A.P. (EUREPGAP) GENERAL REGULATIONS INTEGRATED FARM ASSURANCE | PART I – GENERAL INFORMATION ENGLISH VERSION 1 GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) NORMATIVE DOCUMENTS Code Ref: IFA 3.0-2 GR I Version: V3.0-2_Sep07 Page: 6 of 34 This document explains the structure of certification to GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Integrated Farm Assurance, and the procedures that should be followed in order to obtain and maintain certification. It details the duties and rights of the GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) secretariat, certifiers, and producers seeking certification. The scope of the Integrated Farm Assurance is separated into a modular structure and covers the production destined for human consumption of Crops, Livestock and Aquaculture. It also covers the safe production of Flowers and Ornamentals (as a sub-scope under the Crops scope). See 4.9.1 for definitions of scope and sub-scope. GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) is a set of normative documents, which covers the General Regulations (this document), the GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Control Points and Compliance Criteria and GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Checklists. The version, GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) General Regulations Integrated Farm Assurance V3- March07 becomes valid from the 1st of March 2007 (see point 4.1 for transition period information). 1.1 The General Regulations The General Regulations document describes the basic steps and considerations involved for the applicant producer to obtain and maintain GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) certification, as well as the role and relationship of producers, GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) and the CBs. The document is divided into five different parts: PART I: GENERAL INFORMATION PART II: CERTIFICATION BODY RULES PART III: PRODUCER GROUP (OPTION 2) CERTIFICATION PART IV: BENCHMARKING (OPTIONS 3 & 4) PART V: TRAINING REGULATIONS Part I, General Information, the base document, contains information important to all GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) interested parties, as it explains what GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) is, describes the certification process, the rules of certification, training etc. It is recommended that producers familiarize themselves with this part. Part II, Certification Body Rules, contains important information for Certification Bodies (CB) (including a guideline on how to inspect a producer group) and Accreditation Bodies (AB). Part III, Producer Group Certification, explains what a Producer Group is and how it must function. It is therefore important information for all producer groups, CBs and ABs. Part IV, Benchmarking, explains GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) certification for those schemes that have been found to be technically equivalent to GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP). All parties interested in benchmarking and producers of a Benchmarked Scheme, as well as all CBs and ABs must be familiar with this part. Part V, Training Regulations, is important to all members interested in becoming GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Approved Trainers, or already approved trainers as it describes the requirements, application, and approval of trainers.
