Operations that provide a service to their organic clients such as slaughterhouses, transportation companies, storage facilities, and seed cleaning plants may wish to obtain an Attestation of Compliance (AoC), which is a certification whereby they can offer their certified organic services to an organic clientele base. If a service provider does not wish to apply for certification, they will be required to fill out a Third-Party Service Provider declaration (available on the PACS website) and, in some cases, will require an inspection. It is important to contact PACS prior to the use of any third-party service so the Certification Committee can ensure the required documentation is completed, and an inspection is scheduled (if required) prior to completion of the service.
