sec.50 Audits for grant of accreditation—low risk
This section applies to an applicant for a grant of accreditation under a food safety scheme if— the activities proposed to be carried out by the applicant under the scheme are low risk; and the applicant has prepared a program under the scheme. Safe Food must audit the applicant’s program and may grant an accreditation only if Safe Food is satisfied the program complies with the scheme. If the applicant is granted accreditation, Safe Food must conduct a compliance audit of the program— within 6 months after accreditation; and within 1 year after the first compliance audit. However, if a critical nonconformance is identified at a compliance audit, Safe Food must conduct an additional compliance audit of the program within 6 months after the compliance audit.
