GlobalG.A.P. Chain of Custody


Thanks to the GlobalG.A.P. Chain of Custody (CoC) standard all the intermediate subjects of the production chain can:

  • be registered in the GlobalG.A.P. database, acquiring a personal identification code (GGN);
  • obtain a GlobalG.A.P. certification in order to ensure the GlobalG.A.P origin of products supplied to customers.
The GlobalG.A.P. Chain of Custody certification may be requested by all the companies that buy certified product and have the need to sell it as such to its customers.
 
Certification may be required by all organizations that deal with:
  • logistics,

of GlobalG.A.P. certified products.

CSQA is accredited by ACCREDIA.
