Compliance Criteria

A translation of the requirements of the Fairtrade Standards, binding guidance documents and FLOCERT certification rules into verifiable control points. These criteria are evaluated in the certification process to determine compliance with the Fairtrade Standards and certification requirements. Compliance Criteria are in accordance with the minimum and progress requirements of the Fairtrade Standards, and therefore every Compliance Criterion is linked to a specific timeline indicating when it needs to be fulfilled.

All Compliance Criteria are published by FLOCERT on the public Compliance Criteria lists at: https://www.flocert.net/fairtrade-compliance-criteria/
