Round Table on Responsible Soy Association

The RTRS itself does not audit companies against their compliance with the RTRS standard. Instead, the RTRS recognizes independent, third-party auditors or ‘Certification Bodies’ that go out to carry out on-the-ground audits. These Certification Bodies also need to be accredited by national or international Accreditation Bodies to safeguard their quality. A list of accredited Certification Bodies can be found on the RTRS website (www.responsiblesoy.org).
Once a company or site has passed the initial audit, it receives a certificate valid for five years. Its compliance is also monitored annually by follow-up audits carried out by their Certification Bodies.
