GFSI Steering Committee Sanctions International Featured Standards (IFS)

In order to maintain trust and confidence in GFSI-recognised certification programmes and preserve the integrity of GFSI recognition, the GFSI Steering Committee has suspended IFS for a three-month period beginning on 8th December 2022. 

As part of the GFSI Governance Rules, IFS has a right to appeal this decision. The decision to suspend IFS will remain in effect unless and until any appeal is successful.
