The steps toward increased food safety
The experts at TÜV Rheinland will accompany you along the route to increased food safety, providing their expertise and tactful advice along the way. This involves five steps:
1. Preliminary audit (optional)
The auditors conduct a preliminary audit. They determine whether any requirements associated with this standard have already been implemented in your company and, if so, which ones.
2. Document review
The audit team determines the extent to which the documentation for your quality management system already meets IFS requirements.
3. Certification audit
You demonstrate the practical application of your food safety system and our auditors test its effectiveness.
4. Issue of certificate
Once all criteria have been met, your company will receive its certificate. This certifies the integrity of your food safety system and its compliance with BRC.
5. Recertification audit
The recertification audit takes place one year after the original audit and enables you to implement continuous improvement processes. This demonstrates to your partners and customers that you have a long-term commitment to the safety of your food products.
