Buyer context
Ask who will contract, manufacture, inspect and deliver the packaging. Review the certificates relevant to that entity and activity, including their scope and validity. Separate company management-system evidence from product-specific acceptance evidence.
Putting it into the enquiry
Use references as context rather than as proof that a new project is already approved. A supplier’s previous delivery may concern a different product or contractual relationship. Finish the review with a documented sample and acceptance process appropriate to the purchase.
What to confirm
- Legal entity and production responsibility
- Certificate owner, scope and validity
- Relevant sample and acceptance evidence
Can another group company’s certificate be assumed to cover the supplier?
No. Check the certificate scope and covered entities or sites before relying on it for procurement.
