2. Application Review and Consultation
An officer from the Bio-Dynamic Research Institute (BDRI) will contact you to discuss your application to ensure that you have satisfied all requirements.
3. Initial Inspection
On approval of your application you will be notified of your initial inspection date. The initial inspection fee will need to be paid prior to your Operation being inspected.
4. Inspection Feedback
On completion of your initial inspection you will be notified of any corrective actions that are required to be resolved.
5. Eligibility for In-Conversion Status
The Standard requires a 12-month period between your initial application and when your operation becomes in-conversion. However, if you can demonstrate at least one year of prior organic management, your operation may qualify for in-conversion sooner.
6. Certification & Annual Inspections
Your operation will be in-conversion and inspected annually for at least three years from the start of organic management before becoming fully certified. BDRI charges an annual certification fee, billed each January as outlined in the Fees Form.
