Codex Committee on Food Import and Export Inspection and Certification Systems (CCFICS): new guidelines
Codex
May 08, 2023
In 2022 the Codex Secretariat began work on reviewing the formatting and layout of Codex texts to ensure consistency, to meet FAO and international publishing standards and to enhance readability. A digital object identifier has also been added to standards as they are published, providing a unique reference that can support tracking and citation of each text. The project is part of the Codex Secretariat’s contribution to the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
As the Codex Committee on Food Import and Export Inspection and Certification Systems (CCFICS) drew to a close on 5 May 2023 in Hobart, Australia, the Codex Secretariat spoke to two of the countries responsible for leading the work on Guidelines for design, production, issuance and use of generic official certificates and Principles and guidelines for the assessment and use of voluntary third-party assurance programmes.
