Its More Palatable than you Might Think
Getting certified to any of the food standards such as:
- Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
- Safe Quality Foods (SQF)
- The Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standard (BRC)
Is easier than you might initially think. All of our food auditors have gained the majority of their industry experience by working in the food industry and became an auditor later on in their career. Our auditors priorities working with you and helping you to make the most of your certification.
HACCP
Step 1 – Assisted Development Workshop
Unlike our ISO management systems, we can help you build your Food Safety Management or HACCP plan (even if you don’t work directly with food For example Freight or Pest Controllers). This management plan forms the basis of the entire HACCP audit and you are being assessed on how successfully you have implemented it. During this workshop, your HACCP auditor will work alongside you and your team to build a HACCP-level management plan that covers all the unique intricacies of your business.
Once the management plan is created, the auditor will allow you some time to implement it throughout your business.
Step 2 – HACCP Audit
During your HACCP audit, your auditor will analyse your management plan and assess how effectively your team is implementing the policies and procedures.
Step 3 – HACCP Cert Decision
Once your audit is complete, your auditor will report their findings and issue you a report. If everything goes well, you will have passed and be certified. However, if the auditor finds any non-conformances, these will be highlighted in the report and will need to be corrected before certification can be issued.

SQF
Step 1 – Pre Assessment Audit
During your pre assessment audit your SQF auditor will analyse your current systems compared to the standard and assess your implementation. The systems which are required are built off a HACCP plan, so it is crucial to already have one which has been implemented throughout the business.
Once this audit has been completed, your auditor will issue you with a report which will highlight any non-conformances.
Step 2 – SQF Audit
The SQF audit, is where the auditor will be conducting their full investigation into your systems and their implementation. Additionally they will be double checking the non-conformances from the pre-assessment audit and analysing if they have been corrected to meet the requirements of the standard.
Once this has been completed, the auditor will issue you another report which will determine if you are certified.
Step 3 – SQF Certification
Once your company has achieved certification you will need to complete an annual recertification. Every three years there will be a random audit where your auditor is required to show up to your business un announced or with little warning to investigate if your business is always operating to the SQF standard.
