Newsletter - News for NATRUE clients
 
 
 
Dear NATRUE clients,

We would like to inform you of some new developments regarding NATRUE certification.
 
 
 
Contacts
 
 
 
We would like to introduce you to Jasmin Peschke, our new cosmetics specialist. Jasmin Peschke complements our team and will be available on Mondays (all day) and, generally, on Fridays (half day). Sara Leu will go on maternity leave in mid-October and will return at the start of May 2018. During this period of leave Jasmin Peschke will be your main contact. She will be supported by Stefano Pavlis. International audits in Scandinavia will continue to be carried out by Jorgen Gade Hyldgaard.

Unannounced follow-up inspections
 
 
 
The new requirements for NATRUE certifying bodies demand that we conduct unannounced follow-up inspections in addition to the regular audits. Any operator may be selected for a follow-up inspection, with selections being random as well as risk-based, pursuant to the specifications.
 
 
 
Raw materials documentation
 
 
 
As you already know, NATRUE has issued new specifications for raw materials documentation, which entail that we need a Raw Material Documentation File (RMDF) for all raw materials, regardless of whether they are new or already being used. As a result, when an application for a new product is submitted to us, we may need additional documents for raw materials already accepted by us at an earlier stage. This is mandatory for all raw materials, with the sole exception of NATRUE certified raw materials. Just like for all other raw materials, this documentation is mandatory also for formerly NATRUE-certified raw materials that are no longer NATRUE certified.

Therefore, prior to your regular audit, we will in future send you a list of the raw materials we have on file for your operation to allow you to amend it as necessary. Subsequently we will cross check the amended list against our documentation and request any missing documents from you
 
 
 
Prices
 
 
 
As a result of the new NATRUE requirements and the mandatory IOAS accreditation we are forced to adjust our prices.

Audit time of regular audits and follow-up inspections will be charged at cost (EUR 150.00/hour). Travel time will be charged at EUR 62.50/hour and expenses will be charged according to costs incurred, as before.
Regular certification will be charged at a flat rate of EUR 600.00 as long as it does not exceed a duration of four hours. The time in excess of four hours will be charged at EUR 150.00/hour. In turn, the EUR 25.00 flat charge per product has been abolished.

All inspectanet orders, such as orders for new product certification, raw materials assessments, changes in formulations, assessments of labels and changes to labels will be charged at cost at a rate of EUR 150.00/hour. You will receive a list of the cost incurred per individual order.

Please contact us for an offer at the current prices.
