Due to the increasing number of regulations and need for operational transparency, food companies are rapidly adopting the use of consolidated and harmonized sets of compliance controls. Weighing equipment and foreign body detecting are involved in many process steps and applications. Knowing the existing standard and how this equipment applies to modern regulation, such as ISO 22000, IFS, SQF or BRC, not only helps to be regulatory compliant but also avoids unnecessary costs due to producing too many over-fillings.

This guide serves as a reference point for those involved in the quality control and production equipment selection. It helps to find your way through the jungle of the different standards, and highlights areas, where the choice of the ideal tool not only ensures compliance but leads to cost savings and enhanced product quality.
