Regulation of Certification

A CERT Regulation for certification of organic production outlines rigorous standards and processes that farms and processing facilities must adhere to in order to be certified as organic. This regulation is crucial for ensuring the integrity of organic products, preserving consumer trust, and maintaining environmental and health standards.

Key aspects of A CERT Regulation include among others:

Comprehensive Standards: The regulation delineates specific criteria for organic cultivation and processing. This includes prohibitions on the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as requirements for soil fertility management, biodiversity conservation, and humane treatment of livestock.

Inspection and Auditing: Regular on-site inspections are mandatory. These inspections assess compliance with organic farming and handling standards. Auditors review all aspects of the operation, from the inputs used to the final product handling procedures, ensuring transparency and compliance throughout the production chain.

Record Keeping: Operators must maintain detailed records that document the production, handling, and selling processes of organic goods. This traceability is crucial for verifying compliance with organic standards and for conducting recall operations if necessary.

Certification and Labeling: Upon meeting all criteria, operators receive organic certification, allowing them to label and market their products as organic. This certification must be renewed periodically, with continuous compliance necessary to maintain certification status.

These components of A CERT Regulation ensure that organic certification is a reliable indicator of product quality and sustainability, supporting environmentally responsible agriculture and providing assurance to consumers about the organic products they purchase.
