Crop production: propagation material, GMOs, soil and substrate, fertilizers, water, integrated pest management (FV-GFS 26 to 31) – GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) Standard v6

GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) Standard v6 FV-GFS 30.05.01: Water is analyzed for food safety, in accordance with the risk assessment.

What does FV-GFS 30.05.01 require?

Water is tested for food safety as often as the risk assessment and current sector standards or regulations require, as part of the water management plan: at least once a year, and more frequently if the assessment calls for it (for example in controlled environment agriculture). Postharvest water that touches product is tested at least once in every season or cycle, sampled as close as practical to where it is applied, even if the supply is municipal. Every source is sampled, at representative points near the point of application, while it is being used on product and during the highest-risk period. A written procedure names the sampling frequency, the responsible person, the method, the laboratory and the sampling points, and all results are retained.
