How are Audits Conducted?

The auditor team assesses the management systems against ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP & GMP and BRC Food / IFS within a single audit for every visit (initial assessment, surveillance and renewal audits).

If your organization is already certified to ISO 9001 and / or HACCP & GMP and / or BRC Food / IFS, we can combine the ISO 22000 audit to an existing visit and cover the two audit needs with a single audit.
