Demonstrating compliance with the HACCP system

Organisations demonstrate that their products and services meet the requirements of the HACCP system with a certificate or statement of conformity, awarded by an authorised independent body.
The certificate or statement of conformity provides evidence that the production process of the organisation, i.e., the holder of the certificate, has been reviewed by a team of competent auditors, and that it still meets the requirements of the HACCP system and is regularly monitored by the independent body that issued the certificate or statement of conformity.
An organisation that has been awarded a certificate or statement of conformity is more trusted in the eyes of the public, which gives it a competitive advantage, and increases its chances of succeeding when applying for tenders. The certificate or statement of conformity can also be seen as a motivation for an organisation to continually improve its system in compliance with the statutory requirements and the international document Codex Alimentarius.
