Richtlinien und Regeln

This policy seeks to define under which circumstances a Certification Body (CB) is required to perform an onsite follow up audit to verify closure of nonconformities.

These instructions contain information for certificate holders to implement the requirements related to the collection of National Identification (ID) numbers for farmers in  Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon.

The Rainforest Fee Catalogue describes the fees applicable to Certification Bodies according to Section 1.6, Assurances Costs of the Rules for Certification Bodies.

The Rainforest Alliance manages, and is responsible for, a global Assurance System for Certification Bodies.

The procedure is open to anyone who has a grievance against a member (producer or supply chain actor), a certification body (CB), or against the Rainforest Alliance itself.
