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.

Harmonized Produce Safety Standard (HPSS)
The Harmonized Produce Safety Standard was set up in the GLOBALG.A.P. Database as a separate standard (Schemeversion: Harmonized Produce Safety Standard (HPSS) version 1 2014) and the registration and certification of producers is similar to the process for IFA. It is applicable for option 1 and 2.
The HPSS is to be audited according to the GLOBALG.A.P. General Regulations and the HPSS addendum. The HPSS may be used by producers around the world especially in North, Central and South America, selling to those buyers requesting this certification, especially in North America. Note: The HPSS does not replace the IFA certification and buyers requesting IFA (e.g. European retailers) will continue to only accept the IFA Standard.
Managing of the HPSS growers works in the database the same way as for the IFA standard. Please choose Harmonized Produce Safety Standard (HPSS) under Manage products:
and please add the products a grower has:
All the further steps, inclusive the certification, work identically to the IFA certification process. Please refer to the respective chapters of this wiki.
