Using certification logo or remarks usually depends on rules and regulations of relevant certification scheme and certification body (CB). Ask your respective CB of IFS Certification about their rules and regulations regarding use of certification logo or remarks. In general, no CB allow a certification logo or remarks directly on product or on the primary packaging of a product. Some CB's allow logo or remarks on master packaging only. Some CB's allow to use remarks like "A Product of IFS Certified Company" on primary packaging, but as I said you should ask your CB before using such logo or remarks on your primary and/or master packaging.

Dear Maria

You must make a distinction between " CB logo" and " IFS logo"

The first belows to the CB and the second belows to IFS owner and each have their own requirement for the use of their logo.

IFS logo use is clearly define in IFS website; in a roughly way I can say that it can not be used in the final product but it can be used in some internal documentation of the company

Regarding CB requirements, you will have to ask to your CB.

Best regards

Dear Maria,

IFS require to communicate about IFS certification with business partners only, IFS certification shall not be communicated to the consumers. So if the packaging is retail is shall not contain the statement (and the logo).
