QS recognition

Set up producers for QS recognition

This chapter describes how to set up a producer for recognition by QS. The aim of this recognition is to enable the producers to supply the QS system. How shall this be carried out? Producer and certificate data of producers with GLOBALG.A.P. and QS-GAP certificates has to be made transparent to QS by the responsible Certification Body.

The recognition is always made in the GLOBALG.A.P. Database per product via the new standard “Producer seeking QS Recognition”. To obtain this standard please contact the CB-Administration Team for approval. After these steps are taken the “Producer seeking QS Recognition” standard will be available for the Certification Body in Manage Products.

You are now able to add products to this standard with the scheme "QS Recognition 1.0". Quantities do not have to be entered. After adding the products in Manage Products (the same as for IFA or QS-GAP), please accept them for the recognition to be enabled. As the scheme “QS Recognition 1.0” is free of charge no registration fee will be triggered. A certification is not applicable within this scheme standard.

Upon acceptance the product certificate data (IFA, CoC etc.) and the company data will be transparent to QS. QS can access this information during the product acceptance cycle under the scheme version "QS Recognition 1.0". Certificates with another scheme standard issued after the acceptance of the product with "QS Recognition 1.0" are not automatically transparent to QS. If they should be made visible and accessible for QS, please contact the GLOBALG.A.P. customer support.
