Production Process status is a new, product summary level attribute that allows Certificate Bodies to provide information about sanctioned products. This field is always public. This status will only apply to newly created certificates, for specific Farm Assurance Products, after August 31st 2026.

Possible Positive and Negative statuses: 

Production Process Status Certification Decision Type for eligible FAPs Applicability 
Certified/Compliant Positive All eligible standards and Add-ons except for GRASP v2/v2.1 
Assessed Positive/Negative For GRASP v2/v2.1 
Audited Negative Only for initial audits in version 6 and linked add-ons 
Open non-conformance Negative Only for initial audits in CFP v1.1, PHA v1.2, HPSS v1.2, IFA v5.2 and ADG.A.P. and linked add-ons 
Self-declared suspension Negative All eligible FAPs 
Product suspended Negative All eligible FAPs except IFA v5.2 and CfP v1.1 

For ‘Assessed’ the value should be considered ‘Positive’  provided the “GRASP assessment result” is Conformance or N/A. Any other combination of “GRASP assessment result” and the ‘Assessed’ status, should be considered Negative.  
 
 
When a product is in a Negative status, the product, and all sites related to that product, are not included in the Certificate PDF. The Production process status, as well as site, will still be shown in the Supply Chain Portal interface.  
 
If a product is erroneously given both a positive and a negative status, it will not be included in the Certificate PDF, and additionally, will not be displayed in the interface in the Supply Chain Portal.
