AF ALL FARM BASED MODULE: The control points in this module cover all farm-related issues and can be applied to all manufacturers applying for certification.
AF.1 FIELD HISTORY AND FIELD MANAGEMENT:
One of the important features of sustainable farming is the integration of site-specific knowledge and practical experience into future management planning and practices. This section aims to ensure that the land, buildings and other facilities constituting the structure of the farm are appropriately managed to ensure safe food production and environmental protection.
AF.2 RECORDING AND INTERNAL ASSESSMENT / INTERNAL AUDIT:
Important details of farming practices should be recorded and records kept
AF.3 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE:
People are key to the safe and efficient running of a farm. Farm workers and contractors, as well as the producers themselves, are the basis for product quality and environmental protection. Education and training will help improve sustainability and build social capital. This section; ensure that safe practices are in place at the work site and that all workers both understand their duties and are competent to do their job; It aims to provide appropriate tools that allow them to continue their work safely and to provide appropriate and timely assistance in the event of an accident.
AF.4 SUBCONTRACTORS:
Subcontractors' information should be registered, subcontractors and visitors should be informed of the procedures.
AF.5 WASTE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION MANAGEMENT, RECYCLING AND RECYCLING:
Waste minimization should include: review of existing practices, avoidance of waste, reduction of waste, reuse of waste and recycling of waste.
AF.6 ENVIRONMENT AND PROTECTION:
Agriculture and the environment are inextricably linked. Managing wildlife and natural appearance is of paramount importance; Increasing the structural diversity of terrain and natural appearance features as well as species will also benefit the diversity and abundance of vertical and pole.
AF.7 COMPLAINTS:
Complaints management will lead to a better production system from start to finish
AF.8 RECALL / RECALL PROCEDURE:
The type of incident that caused the manufacturer's recall / recall decision, the persons responsible for making the possible recall / recall decision of the product, the mechanism for notifying the customers and the GLOBALG.AP Certification Body (unless a sanction has been issued by the CB and the producer or producer group products are out of free will. have access to documented procedures defining methods for reconciling stocks. These procedures must be tested annually to ensure their effectiveness. This could be a mock test. This test must be saved.
AF.9 FOOD PROTECTION (NOT APPLIED FOR FLOWERS AND ORNAMENTS):
Potential threats to food safety should be identified and assessed at all stages of production. The food safety risk definition should ensure that all inputs come from reliable and safe sources. The information of all employees and subcontractors must be available. Procedures for corrective action should be available in case of a deliberate threat.
AF.10 GLOBALG.AP STATUS:
Trade-related documents (eg sales invoices) and, where appropriate, other documents include GLOBALG.AP status of the product.
Manufacturers must have an agreement with their direct customers to prevent misuse of their GGNs (packers, exporters, importers, etc.) and that the customer will follow best practices in labeling and traceability.
USING AF.11 LOGO:
The producer / producer group should use the word GLOBALG.AP (EUREPGAP), trademark or logo and GGN (GLOBALG.AP number) in accordance with the General Regulations Annex 1 and the Sub-License and Certification Agreement. The word GLOBALG.AP (EUREPGAP), trademark or logo should never appear on the end product, in the final customer packaging or at the point of sale, but the certificate holder may use them in part and / or all of the business-to-business communication.
AF.12 TRACEABILITY AND SEPARATION IS REQUIRED WHEN MANUFACTURER IS REGISTERED FOR PARALLEL PRODUCTION:
Parallel production and / or ownership (applicable only if certified and non-certified products are produced and / or owned by a single legal entity.)
A system must be in place to prevent mixing of certified and non-certified products. This can be achieved either by physical identification or by product processing procedures, including relevant records.
Where the product leaves a certified process, all ready-to-sell end products (either at farm level or after processing) must be identified with a GLN.
Option 1 manufacturers in parallel production (not purchased from external sources) should use the sub-GLN of the certified PMU to label the certified product. The sub-GLN of the non-certified PMU can be used for labeling non-certified products.
Option 1 manufacturers (parallel ownership) who purchase non-certified products must use two GLNs at the PHU: one must be used for the certified end product and the other must be used for the non-certified end product. Option 2 = the group's GGN must be used to label the certified product.
The inspection shall be documented to show that the certified and un-certified products are shipped correctly.
Commercial documents relating to the sale of certified products (sales invoices, other things related to sales, shipping documents, etc.) must contain the sub-GLN of the certificate holder and include a reference to the GLOBALG.AP certificate status.
Procedures for identifying certified and non-certified products from different sources (eg other manufacturers or traders) should be prepared, documented and maintained in accordance with the entity's size. Records should include: - Product identification - Certified GLOBALG.AP status.
- Amounts of product (s) loaded
-Supplier listings
Copies of GLOBALG.AP Certificates, where applicable
- Traceability data / codes of purchased products,
- Purchase orders / invoices received by audited organization
- List of approved suppliers.
Sales details of certified and non-certified products should be recorded with special attention to the quantities sold and the descriptions provided. The documents must show a consistent balance between the amount of input and output certified and non-certified.
In order to facilitate the mass equivalence verification process, quantities of manufactured, inbound, outbound and stored products (including weight or volumetric information), certified and un-certified, must be recorded and a summary maintained.
Conversion rates should be calculated and available for each relevant processing process. All resulting product waste amounts should be recorded.
