On March 30th, RHP organised the annual training and harmonisation day for auditors of the RHP and RAG quality marks. During this day, RHP's Coordinator Certification and technical advisors share the latest standards and points of attention from the updated product certification schemes.
It is important that auditors interpret the new standards correctly and all the same. That is why the product certification schemes of the RHP and RAG quality marks were jointly reviewed. Among other things, attention was paid to heavy metals, the extension of analyses on human pathogens with Listeria, the additional requirement for storage of counter samples and low moor peat for RHP Mushrooms applications.
Specific points of attention for audits were discussed. Developments within RHP were also shared. For example, they have talked about the realisation of a leaflet for substrate, about the standardisation and certification process for plugs and other small preformed growing media and about theme audits. Questions from the auditors about the quality marks and audits were answered.
