Launch of New NZGAP Public Register

Last week, NZGAP launched the revamped NZGAP public register www.nzgap.co.nz/checkregister, along with the refreshed register for the NZGAP Contractor Standard www.nzgap.co.nz/checkcontractor. The redesigned register features a more user-friendly layout, including visual icons to clearly indicate certification statuses across all programs and add-ons. This improvement is the result of a significant database overhaul, which also enabled new features such as enhanced certificate layouts, streamlined renewal processes, pre-populated forms, and better integration with audit bodies and MPI. These updates not only improve data integrity and process automation but also lay the foundation for future enhancements, including buyer portals to simplify certification and reporting for both growers and stakeholders.  

For feedback or inquiries, please contact NZGAP at info@nzgap.co.nz.
