EVALUATION AND / OR AUDIT OF MAO SYSTEMS

Following initial MPI approval, regular surveillance audits will be carried out by the IVA during the organization operating season.

Existing MAOs can also transfer to a different IVA as set on the Organisation Standard.

You need to meet certain conditions to become an MAO. You can find these on the MPI website; the Plant Export Certification Standards.
