R2 Solutions and Greeneye Partners have released a new guidance document intended to help companies conform to the new R2:2013 standard.
The 58-page guidance document provides best practices on how facilities can implement the principles described in the R2:2013 certification, as well as clarifications and standard interpretations of the language in the certification. For example, the guidance document specifically states that R2 certification is facility-specific, a mention that is a direct response to the growing concern that some processors obtain R2 certification at one facility and claim to be an “R2 processor” while their other processing facilities do not meet the standards of the certification.
