FPS 2020 Certification Part 2: Initial

FPS 2020 Certification is done through an audit by an FMG auditor at the location of the applicant. Because of the fluid nature of FOD control, it would be impossible for an audit to be done off-site. On-site audits maintain the integrity of the certification for current, and future, viability of FPS 2020 Certification.

An organization is given two (2) audit attempts to become certified. If failure is determined after a second initial audit, the organization is given six (6) months to adjust their FOD program to meet the FPS standard. A final audit attempt to become certified will occur after the six (6) month adjustment period. If the outcome of the third audit is failure, the organization is determined to be unfit and further future consideration will not be given.
