Certifiers Council

The International Working Group has formed a Certifiers Council in which each certifier participates with a responsible expert. The Certifiers Council has an advisory function with regard to all issues related to the GOTS quality assurance system and reports to the Technical Committee. The collaboration of all approved GOTS certifiers in this unique forum is an important prerequisite for a consistent interpretation on the criteria of the GOTS and an equal implementation of its quality assurance system. The Certifiers Council is coordinated by the GOTS Technical Director.
