NSF International, an independent organisation that certifies products and writes standards for food, water and consumer goods, has announced that its Food Safety Division has earned the highest rating from the British Retail Consortium (BRC), developer of the BRC global food safety standards for food, packaging, storage and distribution.
According to the group, the awarding of the BRC's five-star rating confirms NSF's reputation as a leading certifier to the global food safety standards, having certified more than 28,000 farms and facilities.
For the first time, BRC published the key performance indicators (KPI) ratings of each certification body from January to June 2011 in their directory, which highlights NSF International's five-star rating.
The BRC measures each certification body on a number of KPIs every six months, including audit report writing quality, compliance to the BRC scheme and standard protocol requirements, auditor registration, data submission, commitment and communication.
'NSF International has grown into the largest certifier to BRC worldwide, and SQF in the US, because we've continued to focus on quality and meeting the expectations of our customers, accreditation bodies and standard's owners,' said Robert Prevendar, director of food safety certification systems for NSF International. 'I am very proud of our auditors and operations team for placing us in the top five per cent with our score of 100, which helps us fulfil NSF's mission of protecting and improving human health worldwide.'
