The operational structure of Bios is organised around a central
office and a series of regional offices. This operational structure
is complemented by a certification committee.
The latter was established in order to guarantee
the impartiality of inspections and certifications. Among its
main responsibilities are the evaluation and collective review
of applications for admission to the inspection system.

The committee is made up of six members:
a representative of agricultural producers' associations, one
from processors' associations and one from consumer associations,
a technical expert in organic farming, one in quality systems
and certification, and a member of the Bios secretariat.
The inspection procedure takes place in four stages, the core of
which lies in on-site farm visits and periodic analysis
of production.

Bios issues the following certifications:
declaration of subjection,
declaration of conformity,
product batch certification,
authorisation to print labels.
