The document ‘Remote Auditing Activities for Accredited Food Safety Certification’ brings together information on the existing processes and procedures used in accredited certification for food safety.

IAF Chair Xiao Jianhua states, ‘This invaluable information demonstrates that accreditation and certification bodies, supported by groups like ISO/CASCO, have had capabilities in place for a while to deal with an extraordinary event such as the COVID-19 crisis and the challenges presented to the food industry’.

• At such a difficult time when consumers, businesses, governments and regulators face such uncertainty, this document demonstrates that IAF and its partners are ready to step up and continue their work in helping to deliver safer food.
