We got audited against V 6.1 in 2021, 7 in 2022 and now IFS is on its way to IFS Food version 8.based on the feedback and findings from IFS Food 7 as well as recent developments in the market. Attached is the draft. Public consultation is open and you can comment on the different parts of the standard.

 

 

What can you expect from IFS Food version 8?

 

• incorporated the new Codex Alimentarius and the upcoming ISO 22003-2 for product and process standards,
• reassigned some criteria to follow the audit trail even more closely,
• revised the scorings system, especially the B scoring,
• clarified the unannounced rule, especially in case of a failed audit,
• provided a solution for the reporting of the compulsory fields,
• improved the consistency and preciseness in the wording and clarifications of the checklist, and
• proposed an adaption of the certification process regarding providing an action plan and preliminary scoring instead of the preliminary report.

Hello everyone,

instead of opening a new thread I thought to add my question to this one.

Does anyone know, if there will be a side by side document by IFS for version 7 to 8 comparison?

Llike they did in the past?

Kind regards, 

Beate
