Certification according to GLOBALGAP

General information

GLOBALGAP is a private standard, that was created by big European retail traders in order to assure product safety. The basis of the standard are principles of good agricultural practices (GAP = Good Agricultural Practices).

Until last year, GLOBALGAP was named EurepGAP. Besides technical criteria for production the standard includes also social aspects. GLOBALGAP controls i.e. the situation of the workers and looks at workers safety.

GLOBALGAP is a B2B standard, that means that products do not get a label visible for consumers. Especially importers and traders of fresh fruits and vegetables ask for a certification according to GLOBALGAP besides the organic certification.

GLOBALGAP has accredited more than 100 certifiers in 80 countries, since several years BCS is one of them.
