How to use the CB search tool, what it contains, and the terminology used.
CB Status
A CB can have one of four statuses:
Provisionally Approved: The CB has successfully passed the first stage of the GLOBAL S.L.P. approval process in accordance with the general regulations and is allowed to issue non-accredited certificates to a limited number of producers for a specific scope/scopes and sub-scope(s).
Approved: The CB has completed all stages of the GLOBAL S.L.P. approval process (including accreditation) and can issue an unlimited number of accredited certificates for specific scopes and sub-scope(s).
Suspended: The CB has been given a red card and is suspended in accordance with the general regulations.
Cancelled: The CB has been given a red card and its Suspended status is permanent. Alternatively, the CB has not renewed its License Agreement with GLOBAL S.L.P.
*Note: During the transition period, the standard is not available for accreditation, so all CBs will be shown as Provisionally Approved or Suspended.
When a CB is under investigation, a Yellow Card is issued and this warning is visible in combination with the current status.
Performance Ratings
Performance ratings have been established to promote continuous improvement of the CB. Regardless of their rating, all CBs listed may be chosen for certification.
Temporary Suspension (red card) and Cancelled statuses of a CB are explicitly indicated next to the CB name. These CBs cannot be chosen for certification while the sanction is in effect.
Ratings range from 1 to 5 stars:
1 Unacceptable, low performance
2 Major improvement necessary
3 Some improvement necessary
4 Good performance
5 Excellent performance
Rating pending: There is not yet enough evidence collected within the evaluation criteria to establish an overall KPI rating. This does not denote a negative performance.
In brief
Red Card: Suspension of the CB in accordance with the general regulations.
Yellow Card: Sanction imposed on the CB in accordance with the general regulations.
Member Seal: The CB is a GLOBAL S.L.P. associate member.
