Inspection
Food & commodity inspection
Independent inspection of food, agricultural commodities, raw materials and finished products against contracts, specifications and applicable requirements.
Commodity and food inspection answers practical questions at a point in time: is this lot what the contract says, in the quantity stated, in acceptable condition and correctly identified?
BVS inspection is structured to ISO/IEC 17020, with representative sampling and chain-of-custody to competent laboratories when testing is required.
