Aceto has fully supported the drive by Assured Produce (AP) towards the increased use of contractors to ensure best practice in CIPC application.
AP strongly recommends that all CIPC fogging applications are to be undertaken by specialist, insured operators who are members of an appropriate professional body and accredited to ISO 9002. A fully traceable, audited and professional record-keeping system should be in place and AP intend to review the systems operated by contractors with a view to tightening the standards.
