HACCP & HALAL ACCREDITATION & ISO 22000

Food Safety has become a worldwide concern. The devastating impacts a foodborne illness outbreak can have on not only lives, but on businesses and countries economics, have been well documented. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world fall ill as a result of food poisoning and each year food companies pay out millions of dollars in compensation and suffer immeasurable damage to their business reputa-tions.

It is now generally accepted by legislators, enforcement officers and food professionals that a formal, structured HACCP system is the most effective way of managing and con-trolling food safety hazards in the preperation and handling of food and food products.In recognition of this, Qualitas International has developed its own HACCP standard, using the basis of the Alimentarius Codex, and also incorporating specific requirements from FDA, WHO, and other internationally recognised organizations.

This standard forms the basis of our certification, and carries the Accreditation of RvA, the Dutch National Accreditation Body, well known for taking the lead in Food SafetyCertification schemes.

CERTIFICATION PROCCES

The Qualitas International Certification process has been designed to provide our clients with a non-bureaucratic, easy to understand process from the date of first contact through to final certification / registration. The initial information required varies slightly depend-ent upon the type of certification required i.e. ISO 9001-2008, ISO 14001:2004, ISO 3834, AS 9000, HACCP, OHSAS 18001 (BS 8800), QS 9000, VDA 6.1, TS16949 or PED/CE Marking and your local Qualitas office will assist you with this.

The Qualitas certification process is briefly described below.

RECEIPT OF CLIENT DETAILSInformation regarding the business activity, number of manufacturing or service locations and office’s, type of certification required(e.g. ISO 9001-2008, ISO 14001:2004, QS 9000, TS16949, PED etc.) and number of employees. This is communicated to your nearest QualitasInternational Certification office so that a competitive quotation can be prepared for your review. Please "click" on the "Request Quotation"button on the Menu Bar if you require us to prepare a quotation for you.

ACCEPTANCE OF QUOTATIONUpon receipt of the required information we will prepare a competitive quotation for your review, the quotation is usually valid for a 60 day duration which may be extended by mutual agreement. Once the financial part is agreed and you have communicated your agreement to us we can then arrange to schedule a convenient date for the Initial Audit (this is also sometimes referred to as the "Initial Assessment" or "Initial Certification Audit").

DOCUMENT REVIEWPrior to the Initial Audit we will request you to send us various documents (such as your Quality Manual) so that your quality system can be reviewed and we are able to deter-mine that your quality system, as described in the documentation, is complete when com-pared to the requirements of the Standard. If we identify any areas of concern we will con-tact you for clarification.

PRE-AUDIT (If Requested)A pre-audit is an optional extra which can be carried out to assist you in determining the status of your Quality System and the readiness of the system for the Initial Audit by Quali-tas International Certification. If a Pre-Audit is requested then it is also possible that the Document Review process could be performed at the same time if so desired. The size and complexity of your processes will determine the amount of time required for the

pre-audit but, typically, one to two days is sufficient for this activity. Upon completion of the pre-audit you will have a much better indication of the readiness of your Quality System and be able to plan the date for the Initial Audit accordingly.

INITIAL AUDIT The Initial Audit at your manufacturing or service location(s), sometimes referred to as the "Certification Audit" or "Initial Assessment", is carried out on dates which have been agreed in advance and by Auditors whose names have been advised to you in advance. If you have any concerns regarding any of the Audit Team members you are able to request an alternative prior to the Initial Audit / Assessment.During the Audit of your Quality System the Qualitas International Certification Auditors will maintain regular contact with your staff to keep them informed of the audit progress as well as any nonconformities discovered or concerns that may have arisen so that addi-tional information or clarifications can be obtained. Upon completion of the audit a clos-ing meeting will be held with your nominated representative(s) to discuss the outcome of the audit and to advise you of any nonconformities (if any) or irregularities that require corrective actions to be taken.

VERIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS (If Applicable)Any detected nonconformities in your Quality System, i.e. areas which did not meet the requirements of the applicable ISO / AS / QS or VDA Standard, need to be corrected before your Certificate can be issued. In most cases we will require that you send confirma-tion of corrective actions to us to confirm that the agreed actions have been performed. In the case of serious errors we may have to revisit your manufacturing or service location to confirm that all the requested corrective actions have been carried out.

ISSUE OF REGISTERED CERTIFICATEAs soon as all nonconformities have been resolved then Qualitas International Certifica-tion is able to commence processing of the required documentation and approve the issue of your accredited Certificate. Qualitas International is a multi-accredited, truly international Certification Body / Regis-trar and calculated to bewithin the top Certification Bodies / Registrars world-wide. Your "Qualitas" certifi-cate will therefore berecognised on a global basis and provide instant recognition of your status as a properly certified ISO 9001-2008, ISO 14001:2004, AS 9000, ISO 3834, HACCP, QS 9000 or VDA 6.1 (as applicable) or OHSAS 18001 (BS 8800) Certified company. OHSAS = Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series.
