The certification body conducts an announced onsite recertification or surveillance audit (as applicable) within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving your corrective action plan. If your site successfully completes the SQF audit with an E, G, or C rating, the certification body reinstates your site status on the SQF assessment database and provides you with written notice that your certificate is no longer suspended. Regardless of the rating and because the site failed to permit the recertification audit in the designated timeframe, the certification body conducts an additional unannounced surveillance audit no more than six (6) months after the suspension to verify continued compliance with the SQF Code. The site does not take corrective action within the timeframe specified: The certification body requests that within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving notice of the suspension you provide a detailed plan outlining the corrective actions to be taken to resolve the outstanding non-conformances. The certification body verifies that the corrective action plan has been implemented through an onsite visit within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving your corrective action plan. When the corrective action plan has been successfully implemented, the certification body reinstates your site status on the SQF assessment database and provides you with written notice that your certificate is no longer suspended.
