About us
About usAs a DIN EN 45011 accredited certification body, OVO Cert’s task is to inspect and monitor the production of foodstuffs and to certify compliance with certain given audit standards. This includes the primary production upstream the food chain. OVO Cert was established in April 2005, and is based in Bonn, Germany. By monitoring the compliance to quality standards, OVO Cert helps the consumer to develop and maintain confidence into the the checked food products. In addition, OVO Cert assists the marketing and retail organisations by certifying the respective grading and quality standards. The certification programme is currently tailored to the standards of the Association for Controlled Alternative Animal Husbandry (KAT = Verein für kontrollierte alternative Tierhaltungsformen e.V.), the Food Quality Union (GGE = Gütegemeinschaft Ernährung), as well as the International Featured Standards (IFS). Further standards are in process to be included.
OVO Cert provides further services like combined audits (KAT/IFS or KAT/IKB), and - within the scope of the Food Quality Union (GGE) - also coloured eggs, game and rabbit meat are audited. Through cooperation with control and monitoring agencies for organic production, we also can do combined organic / KAT audits at laying farms.
OVO Cert GmbH’s auditors are highly qualified with a high degree of specialisation in the relevant product groups or process stages. All auditors must meet the minimum requirements set by the standard owners, have practical experience in their specialised field, and do regular training |
