Compliance

The CropLife Canada Manufacturing Code of Practice was developed in 1986 and became mandatory for all member company facilities in 1996. These facilities must undergo annual third-party audits to ensure they meet or exceed protocols in four key areas: Occupational Health, Facility Safety, Environmental Standards and Performance Benchmarking. Each facility must achieve a 70 percent score in each competency area to receive a certificate of compliance from CropLife Canada each year.

The Agrichemical Warehousing Standard Association (AWSA) represent over a decade of effort from the members of the Crop Protection Institute, provincial governments and industry stakeholders at all levels of distribution. Both compliance and certification are based on an inspection conducted by an independent auditor.

CleanFARMS is a not-for-profit industry stewardship organization helping farmers and the industry safely manage crop protection products. It operates a number of world-class programs to sustainably manage waste generated from the use of crop protection products and packaging on farms across the country.

ISO 9001 is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. This certification helps ensure that customers get consistent, good quality products and services.
