A scheme now exists in Europe for providers of services and equipment into the food industry to be measured against a quality standard. Not entirely unlike the BRC Global Standards Standard for food producers this will provide an assurance to the food industry that their equipment and service suppliers have been audited and checked with contribution to food safety and quality in mind. The service is provided by HACCP Europe, falling under the parent banner of HACCP International. The reference to HACCP is a clear indication of the purpose of this standard and ties up this important food safety management tool, implemented by the food industry already, with these service and equipment providers.
