Bord Bia Audits

In line with the Governments Plan for Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19

 

Level 1, 2 & 3

Remote or On-Farm Audit

During level 1, 2, and 3, farmers will have the option of completing either a remote audit or an on-farm   audit – whichever they are most comfortable with.

Auditors have completed Covid-19 training and have been given comprehensive guidelines to observe when on-farm. Responsibility also lies with the farmer/auditee to follow public health guidelines in regards to social distancing, hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette.

Remote audits carry a maximum certification period of 18 months, on a par with on-farm audits.

 

Level 4 & 5

Remote audit only

If any individual county, counties, or if the whole country moves to level 4 or to level 5, then only remote audits will be conducted.

Any on farm audits scheduled prior to moving to level 4 & 5 will be rescheduled as remote audits with this producer informed.
