Caviro is proud to comply with the following recognised international industry certifications – ISO 9001– 2008, IFS and BRC.
ISO 9001 – 2008 – The International Organization for Standardization represents an international consensus on good quality management practices. It consists of standards and guidelines relating to quality management systems and related supporting standards.
ISO 9001:2008 is the standard that provides a set of standardized requirements for a quality management system, regardless of what the user organization does, its size, or whether it is in the private, or public sector. It is the only standard against which organizations can be certified – although certification is not a compulsory requirement of the standard.
IFS – The International Food Standard is based on the ever-rising demands of consumers, the increasing liabilities of retailers and wholesalers, the increasing legal requirements and the globalisation of product supplies. The objectives of the IFS are:
• To establish a common standard with a uniform evaluation system
• To work with accredited certification bodies and well-qualified and approved auditors
• To ensure comparability and transparency throughout the entire supply chain
• To reduce costs and time for both suppliers and retailers.
BRC - The British Retail Consortium is the lead trade association representing the whole range of retailers, from the large multiples and department stores through to independents, selling a wide selection of products through centre of town, out of town, rural and virtual stores. The objectives of the BRC are:
• Campaigning to promote and defend retailers' interests
• Advising retailers of threats and opportunities to their business
• Improving the perceptions of retailing in the UK
• Offering members a range of services and products which add value to their business
