How to add an accreditation in Erudus

In Erudus, an accreditation confirms to those viewing a product’s specification that an independent body has awarded a Manufacturer such a certification or assurance scheme.

Examples of common accreditations in the food industry include:

• BRCGS (formerly BRC): A globally recognised standard for food safety and quality management systems.
• Red Tractor: A UK-based food assurance scheme that covers animal welfare, food safety, and environmental protection.
• SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval): A certification scheme for small and micro businesses in the food and drink industry.
• Organic: Certification that a product has been produced according to organic farming standards.
• Halal/Kosher: Certification that a product meets the dietary requirements of Islamic or Jewish law, respectively.
• Fairtrade: Certification that a product meets certain ethical standards regarding fair wages and working conditions.

Here is your step-by-step guide to adding an accreditation or certification to an Erudus specification...
