Batch and operating evidence

Connect plot and product identity to input applications, harvest and dispatch records. Where certified and out of scope products share a facility, explain their separation and quantity tracking. Follow improvement targets using starting data and results rather than a plan with no measurements.

Continuity after the audit

IFA compliance is audited annually. To retain status, the body’s audit must occur within the current certificate’s validity period. Assess new plots, products and handling points for scope effects. A certificate copy alone does not prove that the current product is covered and valid.

Timing and cost planning

Total cost depends on area, location and existing practices. Distinguish certification body service charges from GLOBALG.A.P. registration and certificate licence fees. Group arrangements, preparation and necessary analyses can affect the plan; there is no universal price or completion date.

Scope discussion and responsibilities

Kayra Patent consultancy supports scope definition, record organisation and tracking unfinished preparation work. The relevant authorised or scheme approved body performs the audit and makes the certification decision. Separate consultancy and that body’s services in the quotation.
