Certification Bodies

Introduction

A key element of the GLOBALG.A.P. Standard integrity is the principle of identifying GLOBALG.A.P. certified producers as unique identities and recording all relevant producer and product information - including the certificate. For this purpose GLOBALG.A.P. operates a database of all GLOBALG.A.P. certified producers worldwide. This section introduces the database tasks managed by GLOBALG.A.P. approved Certification Bodies: registration of producers, products and certification of products. Crucial is the assignment of the GLOBALG.A.P. Number (GGN) during producer registration. This 13-digit number is unique and belongs to the legal entity as long as it exists. It serves as a search key on the GLOBALG.A.P. website for validating certificates.

Training database

GLOBALG.A.P. is operating a training database, available for tests or trainings and works exactly as the “real” database. Note that the data is not saved permanently in this database and any actions executed in the training database are not invoiced. Data in the training database get updated monthly. Every employee of a GLOBALG.A.P. Certification Body can log in to the training database with the same login and password combination as in the regular database.

Entering the GLOBALG.A.P. Database: Users & passwords

You have received a login and a temporary password for the database. By default you received the role CB-Executive. This CB-Executive creates all other database user accounts and supplies all employees with their login or resets passwords as described in Masterdata.

Entering https://database.globalgap.org the following screen appears:

Please continue with entering your user name and password by clicking on login .

When creating a user account a temporary password is generated for every user (e. g. 38h75f7). This temporary password has to be changed within 10 days. With the first login the user will be asked to set a new password.

Users have the option to change their valid password after login at any time under My GLOBALG.A.P., too, via the link in the top right corner of the screen. In this case the password is sent to the user´s mail address.

Please, note: temporary passwords are valid only for 10 days. If the user has not succeeded in loggin in, the CB-Executive has to reset the password again and forward the temporary password to the employee.

If the CB-Executive cannot log in, GLOBALG.A.P. customer support has to reset the password and send the temporary one to the CB-Executive.
