Product status

New or additional products are entered in the status not confirmed File:Not confirmed.jpg. 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.

Has the first product been accepted, the product status changes to . 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.

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 or the scheme can be changed.
