Effective immediately, dicentra will no longer be offering CanadaGAP audits moving forward.
We advise program participants currently using dicentra for their CanadaGAP certification to transfer to a new certification body as soon as possible.
There are currently five other choices for CanadaGAP certification bodies:
| · BNQ | Tel: 1-800-386-5114 | www.bnq.qc.ca |
| · Control Union | Tel: 1-604-988-8484 | peru.controlunion.com/en/certification-programs/canadagap |
| · MSVS | Tel: 1-778-683-5044 | www.msvs.ca |
| · NSF Canada Ag | Tel: 1-866-834-2516 | www.nsfcanada.ca |
| · TSLC | Tel: 1-519-318-8314 | tslccanada.ca |
Certificates issued by dicentra will remain valid until the stated expiry or until the operation has a new certificate issued by their new certification body following a successful audit (whichever is sooner). This is conditional on certified operations continuing to comply with CanadaGAP program requirements.
dicentra clients should transfer to a new certification body sooner than later, using the Change of Status Form.
- Answer question 4 to indicate your choice of a new certification body.
- Send the signed form to the CanadaGAP office by mail, email to info@canadagap.ca or fax to 613-829-9379.
- Send the form to us ASAP even if your certificate expiry is months away.
- CanadaGAP will inform your new certification body of the transfer.
- Your new certification body will contact you to review the scope of your operation and to confirm the timing of your next audit or self-assessment review.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact the certification bodies listed above, or the CanadaGAP office at info@canadagap.ca or 613-829-4711.
