Stage 3: Get licensed

If the auditor recommends that your product or services be certified, the CA and LOC documents will be sent to GECA for final review.
If your audit result meets GECA’s requirements, GECA will issue you with a License Agreement and an invoice for your Licensing Fee, based on your turnover declaration.
Once this agreement is signed and your fees are paid, your successful application will be rewarded with a GECA License Pack, which includes your License Certificate and detail of the privileges associated with the GECA ecolabel.
