Czech Ministry of Agriculture – accredited certification underpins organic farming
The Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic (and the Czech Accreditation Institute) relies on accredited certification to ensure the professional competence of “controlling organizations” (certification and/or inspection bodies).
These organisations are those that secure the controlling activities related to issuing of certificates on organic farming, organic food or other organic products.
Accreditation is carried out according to the requirements of ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17065 (certification bodies providing product certification) and ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17020 (inspection bodies).
