How can certification claims of processing, manufacturing or trading operations be verified?
The public data base available on this website contains all GOTS certified entities as reported by the Approved Certifiers. Companies claiming to be GOTS certified can further be requested to provide the corresponding GOTS operational certificate (=scope certificate). This certificate must be issued by one of the GOTS Approved Certifiers and show (among other information) the company’s contact details and GOTS in the scope of certification. In case of doubt, if the certificate is authentic or not the actual certification status can in last instance become reconfirmed through the name and certificate number by contacting the issuing Approved Certifier.
