Assured Produce Standards

The Generic Standards detail the actual standards that are members are assessed against and the accompanying comprehensive Guidance Notes include detailed background information to these standards and references to additional sources of information.

The crop protocols are unique to the scheme and describe best existing production practice, highlighting integrated pest, disease and crop management systems for each specific crop - they are not intended to be a ‘growers’ guide’ but they do outline current commercially acceptable best practice. These documents are revised each year and all contain information on action that can be taken to minimise pesticide residues. 

The news flash section provides new updates to the protocols throughout the year.

You will need to have an up to date version of Adobe Acrobat reader on your computer to download the protocols. Please visit the Adobe website for your free copy if required.
