On March 1, 2024, after the witness assessment in Dalian was completed, Mr. Adhi Kurnia Tama proceeded to Leling City, Shandong Province, to conduct an on-site witness assessment of IBD inspectors. This witness assessment was the first on-site witness assessment for EU organic standard certification conducted in China after IBD obtained accreditation under the new EU organic regulation EU 2018/848 in August 2023. As the sole subcontractor of IBD in mainland China and surrounding regions, FOFCC once again dispatched inspectors to undergo this witness assessment.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/23778/
Through two consecutive witness assessments, two young FOFCC inspectors withstood the test. These assessments also deepened their understanding of international accreditation rules and made them more familiar with the on-site inspection procedures for international organic certification, including EU, US, and Canadian standards. This represents the most important first step toward fully launching on-site organic certification work in 2024 under the new EU and US organic regulations.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/23778/
