New doctrines for IFS Food, Broker, Logistics and PACsecure
23.04.2026Today, we published updated versions of the doctrines for IFS Food 8, IFS Logistics 3, IFS Broker 3.2 and IFS PACsecure 3. These doctrines are essential normative documents for certified companies, auditors, certification bodies, and other stakeholders. They answer frequently asked technical questions and clarify specific requirements.
The updated doctrines include errata and clarifications of specific requirements, such as extraordinary information that must be provided to the certification body, as well as requirements related to exceptional circumstances. In addition, the Food and Product Safety Culture definition has been clarified and includes further elements that suppliers need to consider.
These updates were necessary to comply with the 2024 GFSI Benchmarking Requirements and to prepare our recognition application. During this recognition process, the doctrines - as normative documents supplementing the standards - will be considered. Accordingly, publishing new versions of the standard is not required. This reduces the administrative burden for all stakeholders and supports the continuity of certification.
Stakeholders are encouraged to review the updated doctrines thoroughly. Currently, these documents are only accessible in English.

Updated IFS PACsecure 3 Doctrine
30.07.2025We have updated the IFS PACSecure 3 Doctrine. The doctrine provides answers to frequently asked technical questions and clarifies specific requirements.
In the second version of the doctrine, we specify the following topics:
- Situations where a remote follow-up audit is acceptable
- Situations where a follow-up audit can be performed in less than 6 weeks
- Situations where an audit is considered cancelled
- Clarification about training requirements for auditors and reviewers
- Clarification about the head office/central management information on the certificate
- Clarification on the definitions of dates on the certificate
The doctrine is a normative document complementing the standard. Accordingly, companies, certification bodies and auditors must be aware of its content.

IFS Broker and IFS PACsecure achieve Recognition as IAF MLA Sub-Scopes
19.06.2024The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and International Featured Standards (IFS) signed an updated Scheme Endorsement Agreement to recognise the IFS Broker and PACsecure standards under the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA).
IFS Broker is the standard for auditing the service compliance of brokers, sales representatives, traders and importers of food, household and personal care products or packaging materials. The IFS PACsecure Standard is for assessing packaging material manufacturing and converting processes concerning product safety, quality, and customer and regulatory compliance. Certification bodies providing certification to these standards must be accredited by IAF MLA signatories, offering confidence that the above operations meet prescribed criteria.
IFS Broker and IFS PACsecure are now recognised by IAF as IAF MLA sub-scopes under the main scope of Product Certification—ISO/IEC 17065. This ensures mutual recognition of accredited certification for these standards by IAF MLA signatories and allows acceptance in many markets based on one accreditation.
“I am delighted to announce that IFS PACsecure and IFS Broker are joining IFS Food and IFS Logistics as IAF MLA sub-scopes,” said Emanuele Riva, IAF Chair. “We look forward to continuing to work with IFS to support the quality, safety and regulatory compliance of products worldwide.”
“Companies holding IFS Broker and IFS PACsecure Certificates demonstrate that they have established robust procedures and processes to deliver safe and trusted products to their customers. IFS is known and respected by many retail, wholesale, and food service companies for its unique product and process approach, robust standards, high auditor qualifications, and strict quality assurance. The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and its members independently verified that our standards meet all required criteria. We are proud that four IFS Standards are now recognised under the IAF MLA. This greatly contributes to our certificates being recognized and trusted worldwide," said Stephan Tromp, IFS Managing Director.
About IAF:
The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) is a global association of accreditation bodies, conformity assessment body associations and other organisations involved in conformity assessment in fields including validation and verification and the certification of management systems, products, processes, services, and persons.
IAF promotes the worldwide acceptance of certificates of conformity and validation/verification statements issued by conformity assessment bodies accredited by IAF MLA signatories and seeks to add value for all stakeholders through its activities and programs.
About IFS:
IFS Management GmbH, owned by the French retail association FCD and the German retail association HDE, develops globally recognised product quality and safety standards and development programs for companies within the food and consumer goods supply chain companies.
IFS comprises six different food and non-food standards and four development programs. These assess whether private label and branded product suppliers can deliver safe, quality products in line with regulations and customer specifications. In this way, IFS helps ensure that consumers can trust that the products they find on retail shelves are safe and of excellent quality.
The PACsecure 3 Doctrine is published!
06.06.2024The newest version of the IFS PACsecure Standard came out in February 2024. Version 3 aligns with current market needs and comes with a new standard logo. IFS PACsecure 3 audits can start in July and become mandatory from October 2024.
The IFS PACsecure 3 Doctrine we published today provides answers to frequently asked technical questions and clarifies requirements.
Among other topics, this doctrine specifies:
- Which IFS PACsecure version to apply in particular situations;
- The calculation of the minimum audit duration;
- The requirement regarding using interpreters and other professional services;
- The management of COID for companies in specific situations;
- Requirements regarding the approval of auditors and auditor conversion training;
- The compulsory fields and additional information to be provided in the audit requirements; as well as
- Additional clarifications regarding the information that must be added to the IFS Report and the IFS Database.
The doctrine is a normative document complementing the standard. Accordingly, it is essential for certified companies, auditors, certification bodies and other stakeholders to take knowledge of and follow the clarifications contained therein.
