This March we have been extremely busy with our usual workload, plus the added task of preparing the documentation for accreditation against the quality standards required to obtain IFS Logistics certification.
This certification is aimed at transport and storage logistics companies. It focuses on activities involving storage, distribution and transport, as well as the loading and unloading of goods.
This standard ensures that quality remains consistent throughout the food sector’s production chains. With this certification, we demonstrate full compliance with safety, quality and legal regulations regarding the transportof liquid foodstuffs.
IFS (International Food Standard) certification is based on the ISO 9001:2000 standard, which incorporates legal safety requirements, principles of good manufacturing practice and HACCP risk analysis processes within a quality management framework.
The current IFS Logistics standard is in its second version and was published in 2012. It was developed to fill the gap in the foodchainfor logisticsactivitiesnot regulatedbyanyinternationalstandardand applies to road, rail, river, sea and air transport.
The aim of obtaining certification under this standard is to ensure transparency regarding our quality management processes and to enable our clients to engage us as suppliers of liquid food transport services, havingmet allqualitystandardsthathave been previously audited externally.
The certification saves on future administrative procedures and simplifies processes in work environments where traceability and quality control are subject to constant monitoring.
This standard is important for all food companies, whether producers or distributors, and particularly for those working with perishable products or requiring delicate logistics to preserve their characteristics.
At Rios Sangiao, we continue to innovate and demonstrate the qualityof our processes to ensure and showcase excellence in everything we do.
