Grower Requirements
Grower Requirements
Growers participating in the Sustainable Grain Australia (SGA) ISCC scheme are required to comply with and undertake the following:
- Submit a Self Assessment via the SGA Portal to determine your compliance with the Standard as per the Grower Fact Sheets (Canola or Other Grain).
- Submit a Self Declaration on the NGR website to demonstrate commitment to the Standard.
- Declare that all legal obligations are being met and that your operations for your entire owned and leased land comply with the ISCC requirements.
- Grant access to and participate in internal and external audits where required.
- Provide information to internal and external auditors, where required, especially in relation to the major production activities of sustainable material.
- Commit to the implementation of amendments and corrective actions to rectify non- compliance with the Standard as directed by the SGA Central Office.
Appropriate documentation serves as a core component of any scheme as it provides the necessary assurance that requirements are being met. On farm, examples of the following documents should be regularly maintained and readily accessible:
- ISCC Grower Self Assessment & Audit Requirements
- Grain sale contracts
- Weighbridge tickets
- Production summary
- Chemical/fertiliser inventory and usage records
- Seed purchase invoices or labels of seed sown
- Receipts from DrumMUSTER, or equivalent
- Equipment calibration records
- Employment and training records
- Contracts with subcontractors
- Planning and council approval permits and/or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
- Fire Permit if burning occurs in season
- Soil and/or plant tissue test results
The R‑001 : ISCC Grower Self Assessment & Audit Requirements outlines the additional documentation that is required for on farm audits.
To assist growers in documenting required information, SGA provides a range of easy-to-use templates in the Resources section of this website.
