Sales invoices and, where appropriate, other documentation related to sales of certified material/products shall include the GGN of the certificate holder AND a reference to the GLOBALG.A.P. certified status. This is not obligatory in internal documentation.
Where producers own a GLN, this shall replace the GGN issued by GLOBALG.A.P. during the registration process.
Positive identification of the certified status is enough on transaction documentation (e.g.: ‘‘GLOBALG.A.P. certified ’’). Non-certified products do not need to be identified as ‘non-certified'.
Indication of the certified status is obligatory regardless of whether the certified product was sold as certified or not. This cannot be checked during the initial (first ever) inspection, because the producer is not certified yet and the producer cannot reference to the GLOBALG.A.P. certified status before the first positive certification decision.
N/A only when there is a written agreement available between the producer and the client not to identify the GLOBALG.A.P. status of the product and/or the GGN on the transaction documents."
