Certification bodies

There are more than 300 certification bodies around the world providing inspection and certification services to organic farmers and producers although probably for only half that number is it their main area of activity. 

The various accreditations offered by the IOAS provides credibility in the eyes of both your clients, your clients' customers and with regulators. The IOAS are known world-wide as the experts in this field and you can expect a rigorous but empathetic assessment. 

In a global market, a global guarantee system is the only one that makes sense. The IOAS continues to pursue a harmonised system of organic conformity assessment.

For many certification bodies,  working with the IOAS simply makes them better at their job. Our international perspective and experience is unsurpassed.
