Apply for Organic Certification

Applying for Soil Association Certification

 

To start the application process, please take a look at the documents below, then once you’re ready, complete your application form and contract, and send them to goorganic@soilassociation.org

We’ll then get in touch to guide you through the process.

Once you’ve completed your application form, signed your contract and paid your application fee, we will help you review your products and enterprises (the activities we will certify e.g. production, storage trading), and prepare for your first inspection.

Inspection

An inspector will visit you to assess how you intend how to meet our organic standards.

Certification

After your inspection, your inspector will give you a summary of actions, outlining any areas where the standards still need to be met and any additional information we need from you. Once we have all the information, we will issue you with your first certificate.

Timescales

Timescales to achieving certification vary, but we always prioritise applicant inspections.
