Essential certification for bidding in the catering industry!

In bidding, many companies lose bonus points due to the lack of certain certificates, so many industries pay attention to targeted enterprise certifications, such as the automotive industry, construction industry, and medical device industry. Today, let's talk about which certificates in the catering industry bidding can help enterprises win bids?

1. ISO Three-System Certification

The basic ISO three-system certification can be called the "universal solution" for bonus projects in bidding. It is an entry-level certification suitable for all industries. ISO9001 Quality Management System Certification, ISO14001 Environmental Management System Certification, ISO45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification. Almost all tenders require the three-system certification. Holding these certificates adds 2-3 points per certificate, showing their high value.

2. HACCP and ISO22000

We often see on many food packages that xxx food industry has passed HACCP certification and ISO22000 Food Safety Management System.

The ISO22000 Food Safety Management System adopts the ISO9001 standard system structure. In terms of food hazard risk identification, confirmation, and system management, it refers to the HACCP system and application guidelines in the "General Principles of Food Hygiene" issued by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The scope of ISO22000 covers the entire food chain process, including raw material planting, breeding, primary processing, manufacturing, transportation, and consumer use, including catering.

3. Enterprise Integrity Management System Certification

The Enterprise Integrity Management System Certification is approved by the National Certification and Accreditation Administration and conducted by certification bodies. It audits the management technology, business operations, and related institutional arrangements for enterprise credit risk prevention, control, and transfer based on the national standard: "GB/T 31950-2015 Enterprise Integrity Management System."

The Enterprise Integrity Management System Certification qualification can serve as a strong proof of enterprise credibility in government procurement, bidding, investment promotion, business cooperation, and other activities, helping to enhance market competitiveness and bidding ability. Regarding bidding qualifications, in some projects, enterprises holding the "Enterprise Integrity Management System Certificate" can directly gain bonus points during the bidding process.

4. After-Sales Service Certification

Product after-sales service certification is an independently innovated service certification project in China, pioneering a new field of service certification. The certification mainly reviews the enterprise's service capability based on the national standard "Product After-Sales Service Evaluation System" and related technical documents, resulting in a corresponding certification result (star rating). The certification process uses a scoring system, scoring according to standards and relevant factors, with the final score determining the star level.
