First Inspection Alternative Timing Sample Clauses

First Inspection Alternative Timing. Alternative timing options may be followed where inspection during harvest time is not possible. The 1st inspection therefore takes place before or after harvest (though always after registration of the xxxxxx). In these cases, justification for this alternative timing must be given by the CB, and noted in the audit report. Examples of justification may be logistics and timing constraints of xxxxxx and/or inspector, variation in harvest dates, perennial crop not yet producing a crop, etc. Additionally the following constraints need to be followed by the CB: 1. Practically, inspection of records and visual evidence requires that the inspection must take place as close to harvest as possible, for the inspector to verify as many control points as possible. 2. Some control points will not be able to be inspected if the inspection is made before harvest of the registered crop, and as a result either a follow- up visit will be required, or proof can be sent by fax, photos or other acceptable means (to be discussed and agreed between xxxxxx and CB). No certificate will be issued until all control points have been verified and closed out. If once the xxxxxx is registered, harvest has already taken place at the moment of inspection, the xxxxxx must retain evidence for compliance of control points related to that harvest, otherwise some control points may not be able to be checked and certification is not possible until the following harvest. 3. The CB must make sure that in the sampling for unannounced visits, those farmers that did not receive a 1st inspection during harvest have a greater chance of getting an unannounced inspection during the next harvest (this needs to be conveyed to the xxxxxx when discussing inspection timing). Additionally, the CB must make every effort to carry out the subsequent inspection during harvest.
