Enterprise qualification cannot stop at collecting certification logos. First verify the legal entity, site address, certified scope, issuing body and validity dates on each document, then confirm that the scope covers the proposed food-packaging work and actual production site.
Different documents answer different questions. ISO 9001 addresses the quality-management system; ISO 14001 addresses environmental management; BRCGS Packaging Materials addresses product-safety and quality systems in packaging manufacture; social audits such as amfori BSCI address labour and workplace practices. They complement one another but are not interchangeable.
Raytek has provided ISO 9001, ISO 14001, BRCGS and amfori BSCI certificates or audit records for project review. Procurement teams should still open the source documents during every qualification or renewal, checking scope and validity rather than relying on a website summary.
After document review, assess operating capability: which line will make the target pack, how tooling and revisions are controlled, how incoming and in-process checks are recorded, how nonconforming output is isolated, how batches are traced, and how capacity and lead time match the forecast. For a major program, put these questions into the supplier-audit checklist.
The project approval pack should contain the final drawing or specification, approved sample, material and compliance records, inspection criteria, packing and case-pack requirements, change-control contacts and escalation process. Certificates show that a management system exists; project records show how that system will control your product.
