On May 31, 2017 the IOAS took the decision to suspend the IFOAM and ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation of Bolicert, Bolivia.
Bolicert have been invited to take corrective actions to resolve the issues that caused this action.
Whilst suspended, Bolicert operators in possession of a valid certificate under either scheme on May 31, 2017 continue to be recognized as accredited certifications and may continue to trade product under accredited certificates and, where relevant to the scheme, the CB may issue transaction certificates unless the scheme owner determines otherwise. No certificates may be issued by the certification body to new applicants or extensions of scope permitted to existing operators whilst it remains suspended.
