Programme for Pesticides
(FRAPP)
This question refers to the documentation
about applied pesticides sent to SGF since the
last audit. The documentation can concern the
last harvest season or the current one. For
example, during the audit 2017, processing
IRMA members should prove that they have
provided FRAPP documentation for the season
2016 or for 2017. As companies sometimes
send some documentation which is not
adapted to the FRAPP objectives (e.g. pesticide
recommendations, pesticides allowed in the
region/country or analyse results), the
company should show the last “FRAPP
Confirmation” to the auditor. This document
shows that SGF has already approved the
documentation sent.
If the company did not deliver FRAPP
documentation since the last audit, they
should shortly explain why, in order that SGF
can try to help the company in the future.
III.1.1. Did your company deliver FRAPP
documentation to SGF? If not, explain why. NO
If not, explain why:
