HACCP

United Registrar of Systems can certify HACCP as a stand alone scheme, but UKAS accreditation will not be awarded. If you require UKAS accreditation, then please select HACCP and ISO 9001 from the adjoining menu.

Organizations are already subject to regulatory supervision by both authorities and customers. This standard facilitates the standardization of food safety control. The internationally recognized principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) aim to focus organizations on the process and production steps and conditions critical to food safety in the pursuit of consumer/user protection.

Certification process for HACCP

Once your management system is fully documented and has been operating for at least 3 months you may then proceed with registration. The eight steps to certification are outlined below along with the costs:

Steps To HACCP Certification

Step 1

Complete the Enquiry / Application Form (Please click on the link to go to the form) then submit form to your local office.

Step 2

Once we have received your Enquiry / Application form we shall send you a Core Questionnaire for completion.

Step 3

On receipt of the completed questionnaire a formal quotation will be sent to you.

Step 4

If you find our quotation is acceptable, please sign it and return it to your local office.

Step 5

We will arrange and conduct an on-site document and readiness review. We will leave a copy of our report with any findings with you and if satisfactory arrange a mutually convenient date for the on-site audit.

Step 6

We conduct an on-site audit once it is agreed that you are ready to move forward. We produce a report on the findings plus recommendations. Unsuccessful audits may require a re-audit.

Step 7

The Certificate of Registration is issued, once all points, if any, have been addressed from the on-site audit.

Step 8

Surveillance visits are performed at least once a year but may be more frequent, depending on the size of your company.

Notes: An informal (but chargeable) pre-audit visit may be requested to determine readiness for formal assessment.

NB: Where required national taxes will be applied e.g. UK VAT @ rate applicable.
In some cases local travel and accommodation expenses will be levied e.g. USA.
