This is why it is important to always check the certification status of your business partners in the GMP+ Company database. The GMP+ Company database contains details of all the organisations in the GMP+ Community. It’s the up-to-date source of information on the actual certification status of GMP+ certified companies.
Take responsibility: check the status yourself
As a GMP+ certified company, you are responsible for checking the certification status of a company before making use of their products and/or services. You can use the filters in the GMP+ Company database to easily search by:
- Company name or city/country
- Company status (temporary accepted, certified, suspended or withdrawn)
- Certification scope
What do the statuses mean?
- Temporary accepted
A company which is working on becoming GMP+ certified. It can perform GMP+ activities for the relevant scope(s) but is not allowed to use the GMP+ FSA or GMP+ FRA logo yet. The temporary acceptance has a maximum period of four months. - Certified
The company is complying with the GMP+ requirements for the relevant scope(s) and is allowed to offer GMP+ assured products and/or services. - Suspended
The company is suspended because currently, it does not meet the GMP+ requirements. During the suspension period of maximum 3 months, the company is not allowed to offer any GMP+ assured products and/or services. - Withdrawn
The certificate has been withdrawn with two possible reasons for the withdrawal.
1. “Does not meet requirements”: The company is excluded from participating in the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme for at least 1 year.
2. “Cancellation of agreement”: The company has decided to stop with offering GMP+ assured products and/or services themselves.
