브로커 여러분, 참고하세요. IFS 브로커 표준 버전 3이 출시되었습니다. 개정판은 제품 안전에 대한 시장의 변화하는 기대치를 반영합니다. 인증된 사이트는 특히 식품 사기 및 위험 관리와 관련된 몇 가지 새로운 요구 사항에 직면하게 됩니다. 이 기사에서는 주요 변경 사항에 대한 개요와 전환 프로세스에 대한 모든 정보를 제공합니다.

Although the majority of the standard remains unchanged, there are three major changes in Version 3 that we would like to bring to your attention:

  • A completely new subchapter (4.7) is dedicated to the topic of Food Fraud. Certified companies are expected to conduct a so-called vulnerability assessment for all purchased products in order to determine the risks related to substitution, mislabeling, adulteration or imitation. Based on this analysis, a documented risk mitigation plan must be implemented. Additionally, companies must ensure that their suppliers have also conducted a vulnerability analysis and implemented a risk mitigation plan.
  • More detailed requirements for the risk management system: The expectations for the risk management system have been expanded. The revised requirements are listed in Section 2.3. Although many of the requirements are consistent with the previous version, we recommend that certified sites conduct timely audits to determine whether their current risk management approach meets the requirements of the IFS Broker Standard version 3.
  • Unannounced audits: Due to increasing market demands, IFS has decided to establish a process for unannounced audits under the IFS Broker Standard. Unannounced audits remain optional. The procedure is described in part 5 of the standard.

In addition to these changes, ISO Broker Version 3 has been improved in terms of readability and clarity. Please note that this post is a summary of the major changes and not a complete overview of all changes.

Schedule of the changeover

The timeline for the transition from version 2 to version 3 is as follows:

  • Until January 2, 2020: version 2 remains the valid version.
  • From Jan. 2 to May 31, 2020: companies have a choice of whether to certify to version 2 or 3
  • From June 1, 2020: all audits will be conducted according to version 3
