İTU — Türkiye: Audit Evidence and Certification Continuity
A harvest batch should be traceable to its producer and plot.
AGRICULTURE AND GOOD PRACTICE
Batch and operating evidence
A harvest batch should be traceable to its producer and plot. Check input application dates, quantities and relevant pre-harvest waiting information. Connect sample identity and report dates to the actual product; do not extend one plot’s analysis to every product without justification.
Continuity after the audit
Follow control findings, corrections and scope changes with the authorised body. Assess a new season, product or plot against the certificate’s existing scope. Labels and logo use follow ministry rules; an old certificate copy is not proof of current validity.
Scope matching for continuation
Check that producer, product, production period and plots match the certified scope. Last season’s record alone does not demonstrate this harvest’s conformity. Control, scope and validity assessment conducted through a ministry authorised body underpin the continuation decision.
Scope discussion and responsibilities
For a scope discussion with QRS, share activities, addresses, products and customer requirements. Verify the selected scheme’s body approval and scope in the official register. Preparation, independent assessment and the certification decision are separate stages.
