PAS

PAS - Publicly Available Specification was prepared by the British Standard
Institution (BSI) to specify requirements for prerequisite programs developed
with the aim of helping to control hazards and food safety in manufacturing
and supply of packaging.
PAS 223:2011 Prerequisite programs and design requirements for food safety
in the manufacture and provision of food packaging - Enforced since 1st July
2011.
This document is designed to be used with ISO 22000 by package
manufacturers to assist in deployment, management and maintenance of the
pre-requisites set by ISO 22000 and thus controls the potential risk to food
safety that may originate from the package. It is applicable to all organizations
(companies) that manufacture package material or packages and handles
all aspects, from the general requirements of the establishment to storage
and transportation of materials (BRITISH STANDARD INSTITUTION, 2011;
SANSAWAT; TERRY, 2011).

developed by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), a UK organization that
represents the interests of supermarkets and retailers together with the
Institute of Packaging to help retailers and package manufacturers comply
with legal requirements related to legislation for food contact. This standard
establishes a common basis to certify food package manufacturers and
includes: organization, risks and hazards management systems, technical
management systems, contamination control and personnel.

IFS PACSecure arose from the union of the Packaging Association of Canada
(The Packaging Association - PAC) with the IFS Management GmbH, Germany,
and refers to standards to ensure the safety of primary and secondary
packages for the food industry. This standard was created to provide package
manufacturers the possibility of certifying their products for the food industry
(IFS ... PACSECURE, 2012; THE PACKAGING ASSOCIATION, 2012).
