- Producers require a distinction (80%) for the IPW farm and (70%) winery third party audits (www.ipw.co.za), separately.
- To sustain your EnviroWines ® status, you need to be audited at least every three years (normal IPW cycle).
- If you use various production wineries, then all the wineries need to be IPW audited and certified.
- Wineries who purchase grapes from various farms must ensure that those farms are IPW audited and certifiied.
