We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and cooperation with the activities of Japan FoodSafety Management Association (JFSM).
To register as a JFS-B Plus standard auditor or assessor, you must meet one of the following requirements:
・Complete the "JFS-A/B/B Plus Audit Training" conducted by a JFSM-approved training institution
・Complete both the "JFS-A/B Standard Audit Training" conducted by a JFSM-approved training institution and the "Training on Differences Between the JFS-B and JFS-B Plus Standards" organized by JFSM
*Please note that to register as an auditor or assessor, you must undergo a competency assessment by an audit firm and submit an application to JFSM. Please be aware that simply completing this training does not qualify you for registration as an auditor or assessor.

This time, we held the "Training on Differences Between the JFS-B Standard and the JFS-B Plus Standard"--one of the two courses mentioned above--twice each in 2024 and 2025. Although we had not planned to hold this training after 2026, we have decided to offer it again in 2026 in response to requests from registered auditors and those who have completed the JFS-A/B Standard Audit Training and are seeking the JFS-B Plus Standard Differences Training.
Please note that revisions to the JFS-A/B Standards are scheduled for September 2026, so this will be the last difference training session based on the current JFS-B Standard Ver. 3.0. Going forward, only the "JFS-A/B/B Plus Auditor Training" conducted by JFSM-approved training organizations will qualify participants to become JFS-B Plus auditors.
If you wish to participate, please apply by following the instructions below.
