SRS has set up a number of cooperations for mutual support and better service to our customers:
European Organic Certifiers Council (EOCC)
SRS is member of the European Organic Certifiers Council (EOCC) which is an international association of control bodies and authorities aiming at increasing the reliability of controls and certification activities. It facilitates information flow and exchange of important information such as fraud cases, updates in the European regulations and harmonization of their interpretation. EOCC is a valuable partner at EU-level and as such acting towards an improvement of the European organic legislation. The Council serves as a platform for sharing challenges in the work or control bodies and developing methods and tools.
Accredited Certifier Association (ACA)
The Accredited Certifier Association (ACA) is a union of certification bodies and other interested parties, all with an interest for consistent implementation of the USDA Organic Regulations through collaboration and education of accredited certification agencies. ACA provides a platform for discussions and establishes working groups to work out solutions for current concerns or suggestions for updates of the NOP rules.
