This new Issue represents a substantial upgrade and builds upon the experience with Issue 1 with a new lay out, simpler presentation and clearer explanation of requirements. The Standard is designed to ensure best practice in handling storage and distribution of products and promotes continuous improvement in operating practices. This Standard includes the audit requirements, scheme rules and background to the Standard and provides the basis for an accredited certification of sites storing and/or distributing food, packaging and consumer products. It also enables certification where in addition, sites wholesale product or carry out a range of contracted services. Key features: New layout with Storage and Distribution modules combined to form a core module in 8 logical chapters- reducing the complexity and duplication in Issue 1 Risk based approach to compliance when applying the Standard to handling consumer products and packaging Greater clarity on expectations for product handling and vehicle operations New section on management commitment – clearly recognising the importance of this in achieving certification Additional contracted services – recognising the increased range of services now provided for customers Clearer guidelines on auditing multi-site distribution companies Audit frequencies and processes for corrective action review based on performance Click here for more information of the changes between issue 1 and 2.
