May 31, 2022 IOAS suspended Biocert’s international IFOAM and ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation and suspended the recommendation for accreditation for COR and EU accreditation.
Biocert International has been invited to take corrective actions to enable the suspensions to be lifted. Whilst the suspensions are in effect, they are not permitted to accept new applications or extend the scope of certificates but is required to maintain surveillance on existing certificate holders.
Any operations, certification bodies and authorities that relied on this accreditation are asked to take note.
