Not confirmed 
New or additional products are entered in the status not confirmed. If further actions do not follow, the product status remains “not confirmed“ until the certification body accepts the product or sets product to status annulled by deleting the product.
Accepted 
Has the first product been accepted, the product status changes to accepted. The product cycle starts on the date of acceptance and is valid for 12 months. If the certification is done on the last day of this product cycle, it can be extended up to a maximum of 24 months. The product cycle will be 24 months minus 1 day long.
Acceptance or reacceptance of the first product triggers a product cycle and registration fee. Registration fee is colleceted by the Trustee, whom the producer/producer group is working with. If the product was not reaccepted, the product status is set to “not confirmed”. According to the General Regulations version 4 the reacceptance is possible earliest 4 months after certificate cycle started. If products are added later or information is updated during the current product cycle, the change does trigger an update of the invoice in every case.
Certified
The product status certified is set upon product certification and triggers the certificate cycle, which lasts one year. The new certificate cycle is linked with a GLOBALG.A.P. certificate number per product, which is generated by the database.
Please, note: During the validity of the certificate cycle neither the Certification Body, producer group nor the scheme can be changed.
Assessed
This status is only relevant for the GRASP add-on. For the social practice standards there is no certification, but an assessment. Producer and/or producer groups can be assessed, accordingly the "product" GRASP has the status assessed. (For more information, please, read the GRASP Manual No. 27.)
Open non-conformance
The status open non-conformance can be set, when a producer or producer group does not comply with GLOBALG.A.P. CPCCs in an initial certification process. An “open non-conformance“ can only be set manually by the certification body. If a certification body lifts the "open non-conformance", FoodPLUS needs to be contacted (database_support@globalgap.org) in order to set the status to “not confirmed”, “accepted”, “certified”, “self-declared Suspension” or “suspended”.
Self declared suspension
A producer or producer group can ask for a voluntary suspension of a product certificate, if it is not compliant with certain GLOBALG.A.P. requirements (see latest General Regulations). This status can only be set manually by a certification body. If a certification body lifts the self declared suspension, FoodPLUS needs to be contacted (database_support@globalgap.org) to change the status to “not confirmed”, “accepted”, “certified”, “open non-conformance” or “suspended”.
Suspended
A suspension of the product certificate is issued, when a producer or producer group does not present evidence of corrective actions that close out a non-conformance after a Warning has been issued. The certification body must set the respective products to the status “suspended”. Additionally the certification body can lift this status, which can change then to “not confirmed”, “accepted” or “certified”.
Annulled
The status “annulled” is set, if a product suspension is not lifted or a not confirmed product is deleted. The product status “annulled” changes as soon as the product is added again in Manage Products.
