2023年12月21日，全球食品安全标准第9版F926立场声明发布重要更新！具体更新内容如下（注：中文翻译只作为注解，仅供参考）：

文件范围

Where clarification of interpretation of a requirement of the Global Standard for Food Safety or its protocol is necessary, this will be published on the BRCGS website (www.brcgs.com) as a Position Statement. Such statements are mandatory in their use from the date specified for implementation or the date of publication on the BRCGS website, where no date is specified.

如果有必要阐明对《全球食品安全标准》或其协议要求的解释，这将作为立场声明发布在BRCGS网站（www.BRCGS.com）  上。此类声明自指定实施之日起或在BRCGS网站上发布之日起强制实行，但未指定日期。

新立场声明1：变更第1.1.10条

Where the site is certificated to the Standard, it shall ensure that announced re-certification audits occur on or before the audit due date indicated on the certificate. It is the site’s responsibility to ensure that all requirements are in place to ensure the unannounced audit can be undertaken in accordance with the protocol.

如果企业通过了标准认证，则应确保在证书上注明的审核截止日期当天或之前，进行已宣布的再认证审核。这是企业的责任，确保所有要求都到位，保证非通知审核可以按照协议进行。

Certification bodies will discuss audit options with sites and notify them which year an unannounced audit will take place (the actual date of the unannounced audit will not be communicated to the site). This discussion must occur within 3 months after the last audit, to ensure that the site knows if an unannounced audit will take place in the coming year.

认证机构将与各企业讨论审核方案，并通知他们在哪一年将进行非通知审核（非通知审核的实际日期不会通知现场）。此讨论必须在最后一次审核后的3个月内进行，以确保企业了解在下一年是否会进行非通知审核。

It is the site’s responsibility to ensure that all requirements are in place to ensure the unannounced audit can be undertaken in accordance with the protocol, and this includes agreeing contractual terms with the certification body in advance of the start of the 4 month window, and keeping the certification body up to date on changes that may affect this planning, such as maintenance shutdowns.

企业的责任是确保所有的要求都已到位，以确保可以根据协议进行非通知审核，这包括在为期4个月的窗口开放前与认证机构商定合同条款，并让认证机构了解可能影响该规划的最新变化，例如维护停机。

Where the site has not made adequate arrangements with the Certification Body in due time prior to the start of the 4 month audit window, the audit due date will be shifted to accommodate the ‘late start’ and the unannounced audit may be completed at any time in the next 4 months. Sites should acknowledge that their current certificate may therefore expire. In addition, a major non conformity shall be awarded. Certification Bodies shall inform BRCGS through the usual concession process.

如果企业在为期4个月的审核窗口开放前没有及时与认证机构做出充分安排，则审核到期日将改为“延迟开始”，非通知审核可能在未来4个月内的任何时候完成。企业应知悉其当前证书可能因此过期。此外，还应被判定为重大不合格。认证机构应通过正常的的特许程序通知BRCGS。

Sites that have changed (or are planning to change) certification body should refer to Position statement 10 below.

已变更（或正在计划变更）认证机构的企业应参考下面的立场声明第10条。

Effective: 1 May 2024

生效日期：2024年5月1日

新立场声明2：变更认证机构

There are a number of arrangements to be made by both a site and its chosen Certification Body to ensure a BRCGS audit is undertaken to the correct protocol.

一个企业及其选定的认证机构都需要做出许多安排，以确保按照正确的协议进行BRCGS审核。

The protocol requires that within 3 months of the previous audit date, the site either opts into the voluntary unannounced programme or if within the announced or blended announced programme that the certification body will communicate to the site whether the next audit will be announced or unannounced.

该协议要求在上一次审核日期的3个月内，企业选择自愿加入非通知审核的计划，或者在宣布或协调后宣布的计划中，认证机构将向企业沟通下一次审核是否进行通知。

A site may choose to change to a different certification body from its current certifying body, however, changes will not be permitted in the last 4 months of the audit window, whether an unannounced audit is scheduled or not, unless agreed in writing with BRCGS through the Certification Body concession process.

企业可以选择变更到不同的认证机构，但是，在审核窗口的最后4个月不允许更改，无论是否安排非通知审核，除非通过认证机构特许程序与BRCGS达成书面协议。

Effective: 1 May 2024 

生效日期：2024年5月1日

新立场声明3：更新“初次审核”的定义

Currently, the BRCGS Food Safety Standard Issue 9 defines an Initial audit as “The BRCGS audit at a company/site which is not in possession of a valid BRCGS certificate. This may be the first audit at a site or a subsequent audit of a site whose certification has lapsed. ”

目前，BRCGS食品安全标准第9版将“初次审核”定义为“BRCGS在不持有有效BRCGS证书的公司/企业进行审核。这可能是对一个企业的第一次审核，也可能是对一个认证已经失效的企业的后续审核。”

This definition has been updated to- Initial audit- “The first BRCGS audit at a specific site address or audit carried out at a site where the previous certificate has lapsed for more than 24 months. ”

此定义已更新为：初次审核——“在特定企业地址进行的第一次BRCGS审核或在先前证书已失效超过24个月的企业进行的审核。”

It should be noted that this change impacts the requirement for an unannounced audit to be undertaken at least once in every 3 years. This three year cycle will continue irrespective of a lapse in certification as specified for 24 months.

应注意的是，这一变化影响了每3年至少进行一次未经公告的审核的要求。这三年的认证周期将持续24个月，无论规定的认证是否失效。

Effective: 1 January 2024
