GlobalGAP- certification with or without QMS implementation

Hello folks,

We are looking for a GlobalGAP certification, soon

In the GlobalGAP General Regulations- Part I- General requirements- v5.0, it speaks of a certification option with or without a QMS (doc attached)

The QMS rules are also attached for reference

Could anyone familiar with subject, please advise on the difference, if one goes for certification with implementation of QMS vs without QMS and the implications/ benefits thereof

Thanks in advance!

Sunil

Dear All,

Just a note/ update on the above:

QMS is required when there are multiple sites to manage and its requirements to be met across all sites

Thanks!

some Farms choose to certify Option1 with QMS or Option 2 if they have a lot of sites, this help you to less the cost, as there is no need to audit all sites, just a square root of  whole sites
note that Option 1 with QMS in case of you owned or rent the farms
option 2 in case that farms owned to farmes and you bought their products

sorry for bad english
