The management system certification body suspends the certification in cases when, for example:
a) the client’s certified management system consistently or substantially does not meet the certification requirements, in particular the requirements for the effectiveness of the management system;
b) the certified client does not allow to conduct supervisory audits or re-certification audits with the required frequency;
c) the certified client voluntarily submitted a request for suspension.
During the suspension, the client management system certification is temporarily invalid.
The Management System Certification Body has legally valid agreements / contracts with its clients to ensure that in the event of suspension, the client refrains from further advertising its certification.
The management system certification body shall renew the suspended certification if the problematic issue resulting in the suspension is resolved. Failure to resolve the issue, which results in suspension, within the timeframe set by the certification body, results in the revocation of certification or reduction of the scope of certification.
In most cases, the suspension should not exceed 6 months.
The management system certification body reduces the scope of the client’s certification to exclude non-compliant parts if the customer consistently or substantially fails to comply with the certification requirements for those parts of the certification area. Any such reduction is consistent with the requirements of the standard used for certification.
]]>The HACCP system provides control over the manufacture of the food product at all production stages from raw materials, equipment, production, storage to the sale of finished products and monitors the critical points of the technological process where the product can become hazardous to the consumer. It includes chemical, mechanical and biological components.
The ISO 22000 standard (HACCP) is used practically in all countries of the world by food producers.
The requirements of ISO 22000 (HACCP) apply to the entire food chain, from food manufacturers to producers of raw materials, feed, food packaging, enterprises that transport and store food products, as well as retail and catering establishments.
Today, in many foreign countries there are mandatory legislative requirements for the presence of the food chain of the implemented and certified food safety management system according to ISO 22000 (HACCP). In Ukraine, certification under the ISO 22000 standard (HACCP) will become mandatory in the near future.
The modern consumer introduces to the producer of food products high requirements for the quality of products, packaging, storage and should be confident in its complete safety.
Many merchant networks in Ukraine and abroad, such as Auchan, Metro, Silpo, ATB and others, allow only the products of certified manufacturers to ISO 22000 (HACCP) in their retail network.
The ISO certificate is simply necessary to enhance the image, prestige and credibility of your enterprise, to participate in tenders, to conclude international contracts.
What is the difference between the Ukrainian and the international ISO certificate?
If the certificate is issued by the Certification Authority, which is accredited by the National Agency with the accreditation of Ukraine (NAAU), this certificate is both Ukrainian and international. Since NAAU is a signatory of a bilateral agreement with European cooperation with accreditation (EA) on the recognition of certificates, including on management systems.
How much does certification work for the management system cost?
The cost of performing certification work depends on the complexity of the management system and the size of the enterprise. The cost is calculated on the basis of the number of hours required for a group of auditors to conduct a certification audit.
What are the terms of the certification work?
The timing of the certification work depends on the size of the enterprise, the extent to which the enterprise is ready for certification, and the complexity of the management system. The standard period of work is 30 calendar days.
