<strong>17.0.</strong> <strong>Standard</strong> – <strong>SQF</strong> – <strong>2000</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>SQF</strong> <strong>2000</strong> <strong>system</strong> consists of the <strong>SQF</strong> <strong>2000</strong> Code and its corresponding<br />
guidance documents.<br />
It is a HACCP-based supplier assurance code designed to meet the needs of food<br />
manufacturers, processors, distributors and brokers.<br />
Costs<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost for implementing and maintaining an <strong>SQF</strong> <strong>2000</strong> <strong>system</strong> varies by:<br />
<strong>The</strong> level of certification requested<br />
Whether the product is high or low risk<br />
<strong>The</strong> use of external consultants and trainers<br />
<strong>The</strong> type of raw materials grown or produced<br />
<strong>The</strong> size of the operation (number and complexity of product lines)<br />

Most suppliers already undergo some type of food safety auditing either internally<br />
or by third parties, making the move to <strong>SQF</strong> quite seamless.<br />
Many suppliers may only need to have their current policies and practices validated<br />
by an <strong>SQF</strong> Practitioner and updated as needed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> time it takes to implement a management <strong>system</strong> will be determined by the<br />
resources available internally and externally.<br />
