Organic certification is the process by which an independent certifier provides the assurance that certain clearly identified production, processing and other related operations have been methodically assessed and conformity to the specified standards have been achieved.
 
This process includes, but is not restricted to on-site verification of:

• All facilities, fields
• Documents
• Interviews with the responsible persons
• Sampling and residue analysis

There will be at least one full physical inspection every year of each production unit/operation. All the production, processing, storage, packing, marketing and export activities must undergo inspection and certification. Unannounced inspection visits are done in addition to the regular annual inspections. The operator must grant unlimited access to all facilities and documents. The certifier ensures full confidentiality of information obtained during the process of certification.

Production unit: Production must take place in units whrer in land parcels, processing and storage locations are clearly separate from those of any other unit not producing in accordance with the rules laid down in the relevant Standards. The operator must declare all the operations under his management (including leased units).
 
Conversion period: The time between the start of organic management and the certification of crops as organic. For annual crops, it is 24 months before sowing of the certifiable crop and for perennials, 36 months before the first harvest as organic. The produce of first 12 months of conversion has to be marketed as 'conventional'. There will, at the very least, be 12 months of certified conversion (two inspections) before certification as organic.
 
Parallel production: Parallel production is production of the same or undistinguishable crop variety under organic and conventional activities at every stage.
 
Planting material: Where organic planting material is not available, conventional untreated material can be used with permission from the certifier. The certifier must approve any off farm propagation material before use.
 
Soil fertility management: No synthetic or artificial manure, or soil conditioners are allowed. Only materials listed in the relevant standards are allowed. Any off farm input must be approved by the certifier before use in the certified operation.
 
Plant Protection: No synthetic agents are allowed. The use of materials listed in relevant standards is allowed in organic agriculture. Any off farm input must be approved by the certifier before use in the certified operation.
 
Genetically modified materials: All genetically modified materials are not acceptable. All of farm materials must have GMO free declarations.
