RED STAR- HOW TO GET FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE

The certification of the companies that have established and implemented the Management System can be realized after the following stages:

1. OFFER STAGE: The companies who want to be certified as having established the system first get price quotation from the certification firms. Certification firms determine their prices according to the number of personnel working in the firm to be certified and the design conditions within the scope of the firm. Since the size of the company requires more days for inspection, etc., the number of employees should be known as a priority in performing all the processes of the audit. If the price offer is accepted, the firm to be certified shall apply.

2. PROCEEDINGS PHASE: The enterprise wishing to be certified makes the application by filling out the application form correctly and completely and preparing the Management System documents and other required additional documents during the application.

3. AUDIT STAGE: Company audit is performed on the planned date. The audit begins with the opening meeting. Then, in accordance with the audit program, relevant departments are visited on site and documents and applications of system requirements are examined by the auditors. After the audits of all systems and departments, the auditors evaluate the findings, if any, and make a positive or negative recommendation for the certification. This decision is also communicated to the company through the closing meeting. If the decision of the audit team becomes negative, the related nonconformities are requested to be corrected. If the decision of the audit team is positive or after the nonconformities have been confirmed and confirmed by the certification body (corrections made during the follow-up audit or examination, the corrections are delivered to the certification body and the verification of the correctness), our internal procedure starts to operate.

6. CONTRACT STAGE: In case the reports are reviewed and approved by the relevant committee, certificates are prepared and a Certification Agreement is made with the company and the relevant system certificate is submitted to the company. The documents and the contract are valid for three years and during this period, the Supervision Audit is conducted at least 1 times per year and the continuity of the system conditions is followed. Based on the results of this examination and the terms of the contract, these studies are continued.

7. CERTIFICATE RENEWAL PHASE: One or two months before the certificate expires, the certificate owner company makes an application and requests the extension of the certificate. In this case, the certificate is audited and the validity period of the certificate continues with the first interim audit, if the 2nd interim audit is completed, it continues for three (3) years (returns to the re-certification process).
