A company must be certified according to Chapter 16 of the KRAV Standards to import or bring in products and label them as KRAV.
- Products certified as organic under Regulation (EU) 848/2018, or other standards recognised by the EU, may carry the KRAV label if the production meets KRAV’s extra requirements. These requirements vary depending on the type of production and must be verified annually, both in primary production and in all stages where production or processing takes place.
- The KRAV-certified company is responsible for ensuring compliance with the extra requirements in the KRAV Standards. If your production is already certified organic to a higher standard than Regulation (EU) 848/2018, check whether KRAV recognises that standard as meeting the extra requirements for your type of production.
- Once the extra requirements have been verified, the importer—as the KRAV licensee—must register the relevant product(s) on the KRAV website. Only then can the products be marketed with the KRAV label.
- During the KRAV licensee’s annual audit, the certification body will review how compliance with the extra requirements is documented.
