RAL Quality Assurance \u2013 how it works<\/p>\n<\/div><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Step 1:<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Approval procedure<\/h3><\/div>

If producers wish to obtain quality assurance for their product, their application will initiate a\u00a0six-month approval procedure<\/strong>. During this period, a specified number of extensive analyses must be carried out depending on the type of product.<\/p>\n

The regulations require both\u00a0sampling by the<\/strong>\u00a0facility and external sampling by an external sampler\u00a0<\/strong>who is to be appointed by G\u00fctegemeinschaft Substrate f\u00fcr Pflanzen e.V. (GGS). People in charge of sampling will be specifically trained for this responsibility.<\/p>\n

The analysis programme may only be carried out by independent labs that are appointed by the relevant GGS quality commissions.\u00a0The testing methods to be used in the analyses are precisely defined.<\/strong>\u00a0The laboratory sends the analysis results directly to the GGS office to be evaluated by the relevant quality commission.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Step 2:<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Awarding the quality mark<\/h3><\/div>

If after the above-mentioned approval period, the product registered for quality assurance is found to meet the quality regulations, the quality commission may award the quality mark.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Step 3:<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Monitoring<\/h3><\/div>

Monitoring<\/strong>\u00a0starts once the quality mark has been awarded. Again, a specific number of samples must be inspected in independent laboratories under the quality commission\u2019s control depending on the type of product.<\/p>\n

A specific number of external samplings is required. This\u00a0external monitoring<\/strong>\u00a0is a key mainstay of the quality assurance. The facility is also required to monitor and keep record of the production process at all times, as well as check each charge on site for key production parameters of the substrate produced, such as salinity and pH value (self-monitoring<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

If a product fails to meet the quality assurance requirements, the quality commission is entitled to order repeat inspections to be made and to suspend or withdraw the quality mark if necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to become a member of
\nG\u00fctegemeinschaft Substrate f\u00fcr Pflanzen e. V.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The first step was to decide that your type of product matches the list of categories for our RAL-approved quality mark. Once all criteria are met and you have undergone the RAL quality mark procedure, you will be awarded the \u201cSubstrate f\u00fcr Pflanzen\u201d quality mark.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We would be delighted to send you the application forms you need (Quality Assurance, Articles of Association, Membership Subscription Regulations, etc.). Please feel free to\u00a0contact\u00a0us without any obligation on your part whatsoever.<\/p>\n<\/div>
