Official Assurance Programme – Grade
If you wish to export under this programme, you need a quality grade management plan. The requirements for registering your plan are described in the Official Grade Assurance Standard which is the basis for the programme.
Your quality grade management plan demonstrates how your operation complies with destination country requirements. Your plan should cover all aspects of your operation, for example, growing, grading, packing, storage and shipping.
The plan also describes how you will manage any risks associated with product not meeting grade requirements.
Your completed plan is evaluated by an MPI recognised Independent Verification Agency (IVA). The IVA confirms that it meets requirements set out in the official grade assurance standard. Your IVA also conducts an initial on-site verification and subsequent annual visits to verify that you are operating according to the registered plan.
Once your plan has been registered for the programme, you may apply to MPI for grade assurance certificates under the programme. Your IVA must verify each consignment application.
