Initial Audit
In order to become Fairtrade-certified, an organisation must first apply for certification. Based on the information received during the application phase, and if the application is accepted, the Initial Audit is then planned. After the Initial Audit, the audit results will be evaluated and FLOCERT will decide whether the applicant can be certified.
