GSO CXG 93:2023 Scope
These guidelines are intended to assist competent authorities within their national boundaries in the effective
assessment and transparent use of reliable vTPA programme information/data in support of their NFCS
objectives.
The guidelines focus on the structure, governance and components of vTPA programmes that align with and
support NFCS objectives relating to protecting consumer health and ensuring fair practices in food trade.
The guidelines do not oblige competent authorities to use vTPA programme outcomes nor do they mandate
the use of vTPA programme information/data from FBOs i.e. emphasising that the decision to use vTPA
programme information/data by the competent authority is voluntary.
The guidelines do not apply to official inspection systems or official certification systems administered by
government agencies having a regulatory or enforcement jurisdiction, nor officially recognised inspection or
certification bodies2
that certify to a regulatory standard for which compliance is mandatory.
The guidelines are not intended to apply to private standards that are the subject of commercial contractual
arrangements between buyers and sellers, nor do they apply to components of vTPA programmes which are
outside the scope or requirements of the competent authority.
These guidelines do not constitute approval, recognition or endorsement of vTPA programmes. Competent
authorities may choose approaches other than those described in these guidelines when considering how to
take into account vTPA programmes information/data in their risk-based targeting of regulatory controls.
