GLOBALG.A.P. certification for a farm or packhouse rests on documents, records and people who follow them. ASC sells both halves. The GLOBALG.A.P. IFA Version 6 document templates toolkit is sold on ascfoodsafety.com, and the online GLOBALG.A.P. courses are on this site. This page sets out what the toolkit contains, what it does not do, and which training to pair it with.

Why a toolkit alone does not pass an audit
A GLOBALG.A.P. inspection walks the farm and the packhouse. It checks the self-assessment, the records behind each requirement, and whether workers know the hygiene and safety rules that apply to them.
What the toolkit gives you
- A document structure that follows IFA Version 6
- Procedures you edit instead of writing from a blank page
- Risk assessment templates, forms and registers
- Self-assessment and internal review documents
What training gives you
- A farm manager who can implement IFA Version 6 requirement by requirement
- Packhouse staff who handle certified product correctly
- Workers who follow the hygiene rules in practice
- An internal auditor who checks it before the inspection
What the auditor actually checks: the self-assessment against every applicable requirement, and the evidence behind it. A policy in a file does not satisfy a requirement if the record behind it is missing.
Eight steps from download to inspection
- Do a gap analysisCompare what the farm already has with IFA Version 6.
- Map the farmSites, crops, water sources, stores and the packhouse, with the history of each field.
- Adapt the documentsPut your farm, crops and practices into the system documents.
- Run the controlsPlant protection, water, hygiene and worker health and safety, with records.
- Assess the risksSite, water, hygiene and product risk assessments for your own farm.
- Set up traceabilityFrom field to pack, with a mock recall to prove it works.
- Self-assessComplete the self-assessment and an internal inspection, and close the gaps.
- Book the inspectionWith a GLOBALG.A.P. approved certification body.
Mistakes to avoid with any template pack
- Buying the base toolkit when a retailer requires an add-on such as SPRING or LEAF Marque.
- Filing templates unedited, with placeholder text or another company’s details.
- Adopting procedures that nobody on the floor actually follows.
- Keeping no records until the month before the audit.
- Treating the toolkit as a substitute for trained people.
- Not updating documents when the process, the product or the standard changes.

Frequently asked questions
What is in the GLOBALG.A.P. toolkit?
More than 135 editable Word and Excel documents for IFA Version 6 crops, in four groups: policies and system documents, procedures and farm controls, risk tools and records, and audit and implementation support.
How much does the GLOBALG.A.P. toolkit cost?
R5 950 once-off for the base IFA Version 6 toolkit without add-ons, with lifetime access and a 1 hour premium support consultation pathway.
Do I need an add-on?
Only if a customer asks for one. ASC sells toolkit versions with the SPRING, Tesco NM and LEAF Marque add-ons, or all of them.
Is the toolkit enough to get certified?
No. Certification comes from a GLOBALG.A.P. approved certification body after an inspection. The toolkit gives you the documents; the farm still has to adapt them, run the controls, keep records and train people.
Which courses should I take with the toolkit?
Implementation of GLOBALG.A.P. IFA V6 for Plants (R4 200) for the person implementing it, Chain of Custody for Plants (R649) for packhouses and traders, Implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices (R1 950) for packhouse hygiene, and Internal and Supplier Auditing (R3 650).
Is there a combined toolkit and course package?
The toolkit is sold on ascfoodsafety.com and the courses on this site, so they are bought separately. For a team, ASC can quote a combined package: use the contact page.
Can ASC implement the system for us?
Yes. ASC Food Safety Consultants offers GLOBALG.A.P. implementation consulting alongside the toolkit and the courses.
