For businesses that manage supply chains

You are responsible for the products you supply to customers, even when you do not manufacture them. IFS Broker helps make that control systematic.

IFS Broker

IFS Broker helps demonstrate that your company controls its suppliers, meets customer requirements, ensures traceability and manages risks throughout the supply chain.

Food products, household and personal care products, and packaging materials.

What does IFS Broker assess?

The central question of the audit is how reliably your company manages products, suppliers and customer requirements.

Reviewing traceability and supply documentation

Suppliers

How your company selects, evaluates and monitors manufacturers and suppliers.

Customer requirements

Whether specifications, legal requirements and agreements with buyers are taken into account.

Traceability

Whether product origins can be identified promptly and product movements traced throughout the supply chain.

Risks

How your company identifies risks to product safety, quality and compliance.

Complaints and nonconformities

How complaints, nonconforming products and corrective actions are managed.

Product recalls

Whether effective procedures are in place to respond when a product withdrawal or recall is needed.

What certification brings to your business

Show buyers how you manage your supply chain and support your system with an independent assessment.

Discuss your requirements

  • Working with demanding buyers

    Certification helps demonstrate to customers that your supplier and product control system has undergone an independent assessment.

  • Supplier control

    Clear criteria for selecting and evaluating suppliers reduce the risk of receiving products that do not meet specified requirements.

  • Traceability

    Your company can quickly identify where products came from and to whom they were supplied.

  • Systematic risk management

    IFS Broker uses a risk-based approach, allowing the system to be adapted to your company’s specific business model.

  • Opportunities in international trade

    For companies working with overseas buyers, certification may be a customer requirement or one of the criteria used to select a supplier.
