Summary

The sheer number of regulations and controls as well as the increasing demands of customers have made the position of the food manufacturer more and more uncomfortable. Consequently, they have turned to their standardization bodies and asked them to develop voluntary standards that could help them meet all the requirements demanded. As a result, many countries have developed national standards specifying requirements for food safety management systems. The idea of harmonizing the relevant national standards at an international level was mooted by the Danish Standards Association (DS) and work is underway.
