GRASP Checklist upload
Introduction
The GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice (GRASP) is a voluntary assessment that can be conducted at the same time as a GLOBALG.A.P. audit.
Its main objective is to raise awareness on social practice in primary production. The outcome of the assessment doesn’t affect the GLOBALG.A.P. certification, but serves as additional information to supply chain partners. GRASP assessments can only be performed by approved GLOBALG.A.P. auditors/inspectors and all results must be uploaded to the GLOBALG.A.P. Database.
All GRASP documents, including GRASP Control Points and Compliance Criteria, National Interpretation Guidelines, Checklists and Implementation Guidelines for GRASP can be found on the GLOBALG.A.P. homepage This manual is targets approved certification bodies, who have qualified auditors that can conduct GRASP audits. The manual as well as the GLOBALG.A.P. Form Client is available in the GLOBALG.A.P. certification body extranet (http://cb.globalgap.org/).
Pre-conditions for GRASP implementation and audits GRASP is only available for countries, where a GRASP National Interpretation Guideline was developed. The current list of countries with a National Interpretation Guideline can be found on the GLOBALG.A.P. website ( Standards GRASP). This means that GRASP can be added as a product only for producers that are registered in countries with a GRASP National Interpretation Guideline.
GRASP access rights Results of the GRASP assessment will be visible by default to market participants, who have signed the terms of reference for the use of GRASP assessment results (See GRASP General Regulations V 1.1, Annex II.-III.).
