FAQ
The PackSafe standard is a certification that focuses on assuring the quality of the food contact compliance work underpinning legal statements such as declarations of compliance or letters of guarantee. Supply chain operators can use it as a basis for their compliance strategy. For the food industry, this certification shows that the legal statements received from suppliers about packaging materials are supported by adequate compliance work and not unvalidated statements. Organizations managing food contact materials often use tools such as Food Packaging Compliance to support these activities.
While BRCGS certification and other GFSI standards cover many aspects of GMP like traceability and hygiene, they may not fully cover all legal packaging compliance and the steps required to demonstrate it. Food Contact Regulations are highly technical and specialistic in nature, requiring careful focus on building knowledge and expertise and having adequate specifications and procedures in place. The PackSafe standard provides a toolset to manage these aspects that are lacking in other standards. PackSafe does not replace GFSI certifications, it is intended to complement them.
