IFS Wholesale / Cash & Carry Version 2 1.2: Corporate structure and corporate processes

What does 1.2 require?

An organisation chart shows functions; whoever runs quality and product safety (or acts as IFS representative) reports straight to senior management; written job descriptions set out the responsibilities of everyone whose work touches product requirements, with competences, responsibilities and deputies fixed. KO requirement 1: senior management makes sure employees know their product safety and quality responsibilities and runs documented mechanisms that check those responsibilities are carried out effectively. One or more named people handle outside communication (crises, authorities, media); a system keeps the company up to date on the law governing the quality and safety of the goods it handles; and senior management supplies the resources the product and process requirements call for.
