This means that the MDSAP audit report can substitute routine agency inspections.</p>\n                  <p>Ending its pilot phase and becoming fully implemented in January 2017, the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) is an initiative of the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia (TGA), the Brazilian Agência Nacional de vigilância sanitária (ANVISA), Health Canada (HC), United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Japan’s Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare (MHLW) and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA).The implementation of MDSAP consists of three key stages, including the initial audit (stage 1 and 2), surveillance audits and recertification audit.</p>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n            <div class=\"\">\n               <div class=\"accordion accordion-feedback\" id=\"feedbackAccordion\">\n                  <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n                     <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"flush-scope\">\n                        <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-feedback-scope\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-feedback-scope\">\n                        Initial Audit \n                        </button>\n                     </h2>\n                     <div id=\"accordion-feedback-scope\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-feedback-scope\" data-bs-parent=\"#feedbackAccordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n                           <p>The initial certification audit consists of a Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit.</p>\n\n<p>In the Stage 1 audit, the auditor will review documentation, and evaluate your preparedness for the Stage 2 audit.</p>\n\n<p>The Stage 2 audit determines whether all ISO 13485 and regulatory requirements are met.

They are asking for proof that wood, paper and packaging products are made with raw materials from certified forest content or certified sourcing. The SFI 2015-2019 Chain-of-Custody Standard and Associated Labels deliver a reliable and credible mechanism so businesses can provide this assurance to customers.</p>\n                        </div>\n                     </div>\n                  </div>\n\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"latestBlogHome postionRelative\">\n         <div class=\"latestBlogHomeBgImage\"></div>\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n               <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n                  <h2>Related Resources</h2>\n				  <p>Browse the other products or services that QCI Global Assurance can provide you and your organization.</p>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n           <div class=\"blogHomeList\">\n               <div class=\"row\">\n                 [qci-random-posts]\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->','Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)','','inherit','closed','closed','','671-revision-v1','','','2023-06-20 15:02:41','2023-06-20 15:02:41','',671,'http://148.76.139.49/qci-global/?p=1036',0,'revision','',0),(1037,1,'2023-06-20 15:04:54','2023-06-20 15:04:54','<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"info\">\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n               <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n                  <h1>BRCGS</h1>\n                  <p class=\"highlighted\">The BRCGS provide a framework to manage product safety, integrity, legality, quality, and the operational controls in the food, food ingredient, manufacturing, processing and packaging industries.</p>\n                  <p>First published in 1998, the BRCGS for Food Safety is now in its eighth issue having evolved with input from many leading global specifiers, the Standard is well known and established globally and there is a suite of other BRCGS.</p>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"darkBg schemeListingOuter text-white\">\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"ColumnBlockSection pb-0\">\n               <div class=\"row\">\n                  <div class=\"col-md-12 pb-4\">\n                     <h2 class=\"textYellow\"><strong>Key Benefits</strong></h2>\n                  </div>\n                  <div class=\"col-md-4 pb-4\">\n                     <h3 class=\"textBlue\">GFSI Recognition</h3>\n                     <p>The BRCGS Food Safety was acknowledged as the world’s first Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) bench-marked Standard and developed by food industry experts from retailers, manufacturers and food service organizations.</p>\n                  </div>\n                  <div class=\"col-md-4 pb-4\">\n                     <h3 class=\"textBlue\">Customer Assurance</h3>\n                     <p>Recognized by many leading retailers, manufacturers, ingredients companies, food service organizations and food processors as part of their supplier approval process.</p>\n                  </div>\n                  <div class=\"col-md-4 pb-4\">\n                     <h3 class=\"textBlue\">Auditor Expertise</h3>\n                     <p>An exceptionally high standard of auditor competency is required to meet the rigorous criteria needed for the scheme.</p>\n                  </div>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"cta mt-2\">\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n               <div class=\"col-md-11 m-auto\">\n                  <div class=\"ctaFooter yellowBg\">\n                     <div class=\"ctaWrapper\">\n                        <h2>5-Star BRCGS Rating Run</h2>\n                        <p>We’re committed to delivering best in class service to our customers and delighted to once again be recognized as a 5-Star Certification Body by the BRCGS.</p>\n                        <a href=\"#\" title=\"Learn More\" class=\"customBtn01 mt-0\">Learn More</a>\n                     </div>\n                  </div>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"servicesSection mb-0\">\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n               <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n                  <h2>What is in the BRCGS Food Safety?</h2>\n                  <p class=\"highlighted\">Embedding Food Safety Culture</p>\n                  <p>The Standards focus on: encouraging the development of product safety culture;

Correctly applied, a site’s gluten-free management system (GFMS) will provide a very strong level of protection from failure, and if failure does occur, it will enable the rapid identification and management of risks and deviations. Increasing the availability of gluten-free products that conform to regulatory requirements will enable market expansion and should, at the same time, reduce the burden on government enforcement. Consumers will benefit by having increased confidence in their purchases, wider availability, and variety of choice.</p>\n                                 </div>\n                              </div>\n                           </div>\n                        </div>\n                     </div>\n                  </div>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"latestBlogHome postionRelative\">\n	  	  <div class=\"latestBlogHomeBgImage\"></div>\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n               <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n                  <h2>Related Services</h2>\n				  <p>Browse the other products or services that QCI Global Assurance can provide you and your organization.</p>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n            <div class=\"blogHomeList\">\n               <div class=\"row\">\n                 [qci-random-posts]\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"postionRelative\">\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n               <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n                  <h2>Assurance Training</h2>\n                  <p>As a leading provider of education and training, QCI Global Assurance Learning offers a wide range of training courses to help you learn, plan, implement, assess and improve your management system.</p>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n			<div class=\"ColumnBlockSection pb-0\">\n               <div class=\"row\">\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 flexCol\">\n                     <a href=\"#\" class=\"courseInfoBlock\">\n					 <h3 class=\"textBlue\">BRCGS – Internal Auditor Course</h3>\n                     <p>By attending the BRCGS Internal Auditor Course, attendees will obtain the knowledge and the skills necessary to effectively perform a BRCGS Internal Audit within their organization.</p>\n					 </a>\n                  </div>\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 flexCol\">\n					<a href=\"#\" class=\"courseInfoBlock\">\n                     <h3 class=\"textBlue\">BRCGS For Food Safety Issue 8 – Auditor Training</h3>\n                     <p>This course has been designed to enable delegates to gain a full understanding of the general principles of the Standard, and how to comply with the requirements.</p>\n					 </a>\n                  </div>\n                  <div class=\"col-md-6 flexCol\">\n					<a href=\"#\" class=\"courseInfoBlock\">\n                     <h3 class=\"textBlue\">BRCGS For Food Safety Issue 8 – Lead Auditor</h3>\n                     <p>This 5-day in-depth course will provide an understanding of the Standard in terms of the protocol, requirements and how to audit effectively.

An example is the Gas Safety certification scheme.</p>\n\n<p>System 1 Certification is commonly referred to as ‘type test certification’, whereby product samples are sent to a recognized test laboratory to be evaluated against the relevant standard’s test requirements.</p>\n                        </div>\n                     </div>\n                  </div>\n                  <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n                     <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"flush-Organization\">\n                        <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-feedback-Organization\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-feedback-Organization\">\n                        What Is Included?\n                        </button>\n                     </h2>\n                     <div id=\"accordion-feedback-Organization\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-feedback-Organization\" data-bs-parent=\"#feedbackAccordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n                           <p>This scheme involves initial product type testing, followed by assessment, regular production batch testing, and evaluation of your company’s manufacturing processes to ensure continual compliance.</p>\n\n<h4>Design Verification</h4>\n<p>Sample(s) of the product are assessed for compliance with the relevant product specification or standard (also known as type testing).</p>\n\n<h4>Document Review</h4>\n<p>The documented quality plan for the design and manufacture of the product is reviewed to ensure appropriate controls are in place to address risks to designated standards or specifications.</p>\n\n<h4>Quality Plan Implementation</h4>\n<p>On-site assessment by SAI Global’s independent experts ensures the quality plan is effectively implemented in practice to achieve ongoing compliance.</p>\n\n<h4>Ongoing Assessment</h4>\n<p>Regular assessments, both of the product itself in batch production, and of the manufacturing site, verify that quality plans are being maintained and the product continues to comply with the standard.</p>\n                        </div>\n                     </div>\n                  </div>\n                  \n\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<section class=\"latestBlogHome postionRelative\">\n         <div class=\"latestBlogHomeBgImage\"></div>\n         <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n               <div class=\"col-md-12\">\n                  <h2>Related Products and Services</h2>\n		  <p>Browse the other products or services that QCI Global Assurance can provide you and your organization.</p>\n               </div>\n            </div>\n           <div class=\"blogHomeList\">\n               <div class=\"row\">\n                 [qci-random-posts]\n               </div>\n            </div>\n         </div>\n      </section>\n<!-- /wp:html -->','5 Ticks StandardsMark™ Certification','','inherit','closed','closed','','326-revision-v1','','','2023-06-20 17:22:25','2023-06-20 17:22:25','',326,'http://148.76.139.49/qci-global/?p=1073',0,'revision','',0),
