We are excited to share two new publications that will help you prepare for the IFS HPC 3 Audit. Discover the essential information and valuable insights they contain.
IFS HPC 3 Doctrine version 2
We updated the IFS HPC 3 Doctrine. It is a normative document that complements the standard. Accordingly, companies, certification bodies and auditors must be aware of its content before the next audit. The current update specifies the following requirements:
- Part 1, 2.2 Clarification on whether a textile-based HPC product falls within the scope of the HPC 3 audit
- Part 1, 2.3.3 Situations where a remote follow-up audit is acceptable and situations where a follow-up audit can be performed in less than 6 weeks
- Part 1, 4.2.1 Situations where an audit is considered cancelled
- Annex 1 Scope determination between IFS PACsecure and IFS HPC Standard
IFS HPC Product Example Chart
The chart provides examples to illustrate the appropriate allocation of IFS HPC Product Scopes. The product example chart helps you understand which IFS HPC Product Scope the certification body will select based on the final products manufactured by the production site.
We have completely revised the structure and layout of this document to enhance its readability and usability. More product examples have been included to align with the updated clarification in the IFS HPC 3 Doctrine version 2.
The IFS HPC Product Example Chart is explanatory and supportive, not normative. It helps companies utilise audit-level knowledge within their processes.
