In the database search there are different status options - in combination with the information of certified process as listed below.
Certificate holders (e.g. Producer Option 1, Producer Group,...)
For certificate holders the product status accepted only appears in combination when the process has not yet been certified/assessed.
Producer Group and Member Constellation (Option 2)
Members that are producers with Option 2 products are linked to a Producer Group (certificate holder). In that cases the product status accepted for members can appear combined with certified process Yes or No (see below right side).
Accepted with Yes means that you see a product of a producer group member, who supplies a group with a certified production process. This combination is used distinctively for such producer group members (option 2).
Accepted with No means that the products has been registered by the Certification Body, the client was "accepted" - however the production process not yet certified. In this case products cannot be marketed as GLOBALG.A.P. certified, there is no paper certificate - if yes, it cannot be confirmed as valid.
First the certificate information in the GLOBALG.A.P. Database has to be updated and the paper certificate can be issued only afterwards.
The product status certified is set upon product certification and triggers the one year certificate cycle. The new certificate cycle is linked with a GLOBALG.A.P. certificate number per product, which is generated by the database.
The certified status shows always that products result from a certified process, so you will see Yes for single producers (option 1) and producer groups (option 2 - or also option 1).
This status is relevant for the GRASP add-on as well as for some other Add-Ons such as GLOBALG.A.P. NON-GM/Ohne Gentechnik Add-on, TR 4 BioSecurity Add-on for Bananas, GLOBALG.A.P Farm Sustainability Assessment (GG FSA), SIZA Standard, SIZA Enviromental Add-on, Sustainable Program for Irrigation and Groundwater Use (SPRING) sowie Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP). For the social practice audit there is no certification, but an assessment. Producer and/or producer groups can be assessed, accordingly the "product" GRASP has the status assessed.
In case of a producer group the members of the cooperative stay accepted .
The GRASP status and the checklist results are only for users visible, who have a database access and have signed the relevant documents (Terms & Conditions, Data privacy).
Both the database access and the access to the GRASP results have to be requested. Please, contact the customer support. The Terms of References are also publicly available in the Annex II of the GRASP General Rules.
The status open non-conformance can be set, when a producer or producer group does not comply with the GLOBALG.A.P. Control Points and Compliance Criterias in an initial certification process.
A producer or producer group can ask for a voluntary suspension of a product, if it is not compliant with certain GLOBALG.A.P. requirements.
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.
This status appears if a product neither has been registered nor certified for a cycle. In search this appears in the case if a product was not included in a current valid certificate, but in a next one that has already been updated in the database.
