An excellent audit service is required to ensure safe production in a company. Established standards and norms such as IFS, BRC, and FSSC 22000 require internal audits as well as supplier and service provider audits. Our audit services ensure that no mistakes or misconduct remain undetected in your company.
Our audit services
Auditing of quality management
Are you planning to get certified for a standard or norm? We support you in the preparation and audit you against the following norms and standards of food safety:

Internal audits
The usual norms and standards in the food industry require internal audits to be carried out. Our audit services ensure that the different requirements of the norms or standards regarding internal audits are correctly implemented.
Internal audits are designed to reveal inadvertent misconducting or inappropriate habits based on updated requirements. An external view often shows where improvements are possible. A practiced audit culture supports employees’ perception of improved process flows and the continuous improvement process (CIP).
Possible subjects of the internal audits:
- Hygiene audits
- HACCP audits
- Allergen management audit
- Audits against self-regulation or parts of it
- Audits against standards such as IFS, BRC or FSSC 22000 or parts thereof
- Individual production process
For this we apply ISO 19011 as a guideline, which gives instructions for auditing management systems. For this FQM consulting applies ISO 19011 as a guideline, which gives guidance for auditing management systems.
We look at your needs individually in a preliminary meeting to take company-specific aspects into account.
Supplier audits
We assess and evaluate the organisational, hygienic and possibly also technical performance of your suppliers to ensure your purchased products are delivered in a consistently high-quality standard. This also applies to potential suppliers before placing the order. The results of the supplier audits will support you in the negotiations with the suppliers. The long-term goal of positive continuous supplier development is a key success factor for your company.
