A common theme recently has been the confusion between the Harmonized Standard and when GLOBALG.A.P adopted it as the National Interpretation Guideline. To help make this clearer, GLOBALG.A.P released a statement, and the following excerpt may help clear up any questions:
We have created a subset of the GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) version 4. Standard, called the GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Safety Version 4 Standard.
The new Produce Safety Standard contains only the food safety Control Points and Compliance
Criteria (CPPCs) from the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA Version 4. The CPCCs have not changed and are
identical to the CPCCs found in the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA Version 4. Only the environmental,
workers safety and welfare related CPCCs have been removed.
The GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Safety Version 4 Standard is the collection of those CPPCs from the
GLOBALG.A.P. IFA standard, which fulfill the requirements of the GFSI Guidance Document
Version 6.
We allow all our accredited CBs to certify the GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Safety Standard. The
GLOBALG.A.P. General Regulations apply and there are no specific qualification requirements for
inspectors and auditors.
As the Produce Safety Version 4 Standard is just an excerpt of the existing accredited IFA
standard, the GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Safety Version 4 Standard shall not require new
accreditation assessment by the AB. We kindly ask you to allow your GLOBALG.A.P. accredited
CBs to issue GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Safety Standard certificate with your AB logo.
