SQF in Peoples Republic of China
• In 2003 over 120 SQF certificates issued and increasing
• Today - ZERO
Peoples RepublicOf China
Peoples RepublicOf China
• A lack of appropriately qualified auditors
• Certifications issued after superficial audits or without audits being conducted
• Evidence of fraudulent certificates being issued
• The Accreditation of the CB's being administered by foreign AB’s
• A lack of proper controls within the CB
WHY?
Peoples RepublicOf China
• US consumers perceive Chinese suppliers don’t care
• Don’t trust Chinese product• Perception fueled by recent
incidents involving Food safety The safety of non-food
items Media reports
Perception = Reality• Some US retailers have
stopped purchasing goods from their Chinese suppliers until proven controls are implemented
• Their solution – SQF Certification of their suppliers
Consumer View
Peoples RepublicOf China
• Establish a reliable Accreditation presence in the PR of China to oversee SQF audit and
certification activities in China
• Conduct more frequent audits of a CB’s procedure’s and witness audits of their auditors
• Training of trainers, consultants and suppliers in China
• Train AB assessors, CB Auditors and other CB personnel responsible for the marketing/sales, audit scheduling and decision making.
What to do?
•Those buyers and suppliers who want to win back consumer trust
