8 The IAF MLA Mark MLA signatories with sub-scopes can license CBs to use the MLA mark in conjunction with their own accreditation body logo The certification body must include an indication of the MLA sub-scope for which the accredited certification is related. 15 The IAF MLA Process to endorse a subscope within IAF The GLOBALG.A.P. example Applying to IAF Evaluation of the application document s by a task group and the End User Group here we are with a positive result Providing the results to IAF members for comment Reacting on the comments, possibly ask for modifications Vote on the new subscope under ISO/IEC will be the first Define the peer evaluation process (IAF MLA committee) Establish the subscope based on the peer evaluation of the regions applying an initial acceptance process to be defined 16 GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat Page 8
9 The IAF MLA Process to endorse a subscope within IAF The GLOBALG.A.P. example Checklist used (first question as example) IAF requirements: General Criteria Significant relevance to the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies under the scope of the IAF activities. Relevant PL 3 Clause Clause 2.1 (i) 17 The IAF MLA Descriptive information of how requirement is met or to be met* GLOBALG.A.P requires the AB s to be a signatory of the product MLA. In 2010, 32 AB s have signed MoU with GLOBALG.A.P and provide accreditation to the respective CAB s. Additionally, considering para 1.4 of IAF PL 6: The primary function of IAF is to provide a single system which organizations with an accredited conformity assessment certificate in one part of the world to have that certificate recognized everywhere else in the world GLOBALG.A.P goals and objectives fit to IAF activities. Comment from IAF Review Complies Global.G.A.P. is a widely accepted product certification scheme. There are many certification bodies accredited by IAF AB Members. 18 GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat Page 9

14 Organic Production Certification Supervision of CBs CBs in EU Member States competent authority delegates control tasks to CB and supervises CB through audits Accreditation and surveillance of CBs by ABs CBs in Third Countries Commission recognises CBs and supervises them based on annual report submitted by CB, possibly audits Accreditation and surveillance of CBs by ABs Objectives of input to Draft EA guidelines Ensure reports of AB provide information necessary to evaluate applications for recognition by CBs Level of surveillance of CB in Third Countries by AB should be no lower than in the EU All CBs recognised by Commission subject to the same level of surveillance, irrespective of where their head office is located GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat Page 14
15 Cooperation with EA EA Food Committee organic task force Technical contact point nominated by EA Meeting hosted by DG AGRI with ABs of all CBs that had applied for recogntion Explain role of AB reports in evaluation of CBs application Exchange on experiences from surveillances of CBs and specifics of organic production certification under equivalence Cooperation with EA EA technical contact point provided initial draft guidelines DG AGRI commented at different stages of drafting process Regular exchange, participation in meetings GLOBALG.A.P.
