Who can audit and certify my SQF system?
Independent third-party Certification Bodies (audit companies) licensed by the SQF Institute conduct the SQF 2000 audit and issues the SQF certification. They are required to use SQF Auditors registered by the SQF Institute and suitably qualified to audit a specific food industry sector. Certification Bodies are subject to regular audits of their certification and audit activities by international Accreditation Bodies licensed by SQFI. Certification Bodies are accredited to international standards, meaning SQF 2000 certificates are internationally recognized. • How do I choose a Certification Body?

Select as many of them as you wish and automatically request information about their company and rates. You will then be required to choose one of the companies to perform the audit.
