Baseline measurement IFS PACsecure 3
On 16 February 2024, IFS launched the new version of IFS PACsecure, IFS PACsecure version 3. Would you like a quick overview of all the changes that need to be implemented within your company? You can get this with the IFS PACsecure 3 baseline assessment.
This IFS standard applies to the production and processing of packaging materials intended for use in the food industry, packaging of cosmetics and household and personal care products. IFS PACsecure is a GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) recognised standard.
During the baseline assessment, we assess which aspects of your company's quality system need to be adjusted to comply with this new standard. We also assess which implementations and adjustments are required in practice. By asking the right questions, a baseline assessment does not have to take long. At the end of the baseline measurement, you will receive a report with our findings. In this report, we set out a timeline for achieving a quality system that complies with the new IFS requirements.
Audits are possible from 1 July 2024 and mandatory from 1 October 2024.
