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 [https://database.globalgap.org 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.

In order to enter the [https://database.globalgap.org database] user accounts have to be set up: the CB-Administration provides the login data of the CB manager or scheme manager with a templorary password, who has the database role [[CB-Executive]]. This [[CB-Executive]] creates all other database user accounts and supplies all employees with their login.

According to the GLOBALG.A.P. training concept it is obligatory for all auditors and inspectors to fulfil the online training requirements for version 4. First the respective auditor and inspector roles, scopes and subscopes have to be assigned in the GLOBALG.A.P. Database, then these employees can complete the online training. If they pass, this person can be selected as an auditor/inspector for certification. If the auditor or inspector fails any of the tests, the database locks them and the error message '''"The auditor is locked for the audit date"''' appears.
+
== [[File:Affiliation.jpg|link=Manage products]] [[Manage products]] ==
The [[CB-Executive]] is the one to assign the [[CB-Committee]], [[CB-Auditor]] and [[CB-Inspector]] roles and scopes, subscopes in Masterdata. [[CB-Committee]] is an additional role to the role [[CB-Auditor]] (see General Regulations Part III.6.1.b).
 
  
Please, note: '''the role CB-Auditor is superior to the role CB-Inspector'''. This means that a [[CB-Auditor]] does not need the [[CB-Inspector]] role for the same scheme version. Assigning both roles for GLOBALG.A.P. IFA v4.0 for the same modules may result in double online training assignments for the employee.

The system is based on the '''“four eyes principle”''', i. e. the inspector/auditor, who carried out the audit cannot issue the certificate and be responsible for the certification decision for the same audit. To implement this rule, GLOBALG.A.P. introduced the role [[CB-Committee]], the person carrying responsibility for the certificate decision.

''Working language'' is the option to select the audit languages: Here the CB-Executive chooses one or more languages for the auditor/inspector, in which this employee is able to audit/inspect and in which the auditor/inspector will complete the '''online training'''. Please, note that the database language (right above the ''Working lanugage'') will not be selected as a ''Working language'' for the online test by default. The CB-Executive is responsible to make this setting for all the employees correctly and prior to the assignment of the roles. If two or more languages are selected or both the auditor and the inspector role, the online test will be booked for each role and in all languages. The auditor/inspector can decide for one language, however, auditors complete only the auditor exams. These assignments are crucial for the Online Training as this is the way to book online training courses and exams. (screenshot "Available languages")

If a language and role assignment incl. scopes, subscopes was done erroneously, the CB-Executive will not be able to delete or recall online training tests by undoing the assignment. In this case the user has to complete the courses and exams in one of the selected languages to become approved for the relevant module.

For each selected scheme version the corresponding subscopes will appear in the tree view. Only scheme versions that the respective Certification Body is approved for will appear in the drop-down menu above and subsequently in the corresponding tree view.

By selecting the button the auditor/inspector will be redirected to the ''Personal Desktop > Overview > My assigned trainings'' of the GLOBALG.A.P. Online Academy just as shown below.

The titles on the ''Personal Desktop'' are course titles, what means that every course will contain learning materials, tutorials (eCourses) and at least one exam.

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.
