The application fee is a once-off $500 USD fee payable upon application to become an RSB Participating Operator. It is applicable to every individual application.
Certification fees
There are three different RSB fees that you should consider when getting certified:
- Application fees
- Licensing fees
- Audit costs
What should you consider?
Application fee
Licensing fees
The licensing fees for RSB certification are determined by a number of factors – such as the type and size of your operation (e.g. hectares, volume of production, number of offices). It is important to note that for volume-based operations licensing fees are calculated based on only the RSB certified product that you actually sell.
Audit costs
Audit costs are external and will be determined by your Certification Body based upon the specific requirements of your operation.
