Hi Tim
we have been accreditated for UFAS ( UFAS is based on HACCP principles, a system originally pioneered by space agency NASA, but now forming the bedrock of EU Food and Feed legislation. The scheme is audited and certified by an independent certification body, in accordance with the internationally recognised standard EN45011 (also known as ISO Guide 65). This means that the certification body is itself independently assessed every year to ensure that the standard is implemented and administered consistently and fairly. Partly as a result of this independence of inspection, local authorities now include participation in UFAS in their risk assessments of Feed businesses.) but we are now going for FIAS (FIAS )was launched on 9th January 2006 and assures fertiliser security and traceability in the industry supply chain. The UK government encouraged and supported this industry initiative as an alternative to further legislation. AIC manages the development and implementation of the scheme under the supervision of the FIAS Steering Group, which has representatives from government and industry stakeholders.
I have a business continuture plan, but I think a simple Know your customer, supplier, vistor policy would be more what they are asking for
and great to know i am not the only one our there.
i only joined the company in August 2019 and so far i have gained them ISO9001 14001 and UFAS i know we are also thinking of going for BRC so its all a new learning curve for me.

Jacquie
