Regular Compliance Criteria
The majority of Compliance Criteria are classified as regular. The regular Compliance Criteria are linked to minimum and/or progress requirements of the Fairtrade Standards.
Any Non-Conformity with regular Compliance Criteria must be remedied by the organisation within a given timeframe in order to maintain certification, or, in the case of a renewal certification, to qualify for re-certification.
