What is the content of inspection as basis for the GOTS certification?
Annual on-site inspection of the processor’s, manufacturer’s or trader’s premises performed by independent specially accredited certification bodies is the basis for GOTS certification. Tracing the organic fibre product flow, assessment of all inputs and accessories used, verification of the waste water treatment system as part of the environmental management, monitoring social minimum criteria and implementing risk assessment based residue policy are key elements of the inspection protocol.
