Facility & Operational Baseline

Facility & Operational Baseline services provide good‑practice benchmarks for your plant, workshop or food‑handling area, helping you meet regulatory expectations and buyer requirements in Bangladesh and beyond.

What Facility & Operational Baseline covers

Facility & Operational Baseline is a set of recognised good‑practice benchmarks that define how a facility should be designed, maintained and run on a day‑to‑day basis. In Bangladesh, manufacturers, food processors and logistics providers use these baselines to satisfy local regulators, international buyers and certification schemes. The baselines address layout, cleanliness, workflow, hygiene, waste reduction and environmental impact, giving you a clear reference point for continuous improvement.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Facility & Operational Baseline?

It is a recognised set of good‑practice criteria that define how a facility should be organised, cleaned and operated on a daily basis. The baseline provides a measurable reference for compliance and continuous improvement.

Do I need a baseline if I already have ISO certification?

A baseline complements ISO management‑system certifications by focusing on the physical condition and day‑to‑day practices of the facility. It helps you meet buyer‑specific or sector‑specific expectations that ISO standards may not cover in detail.

Which baseline is best for a food processing plant?

For food processing, the Good Hygiene Practice (GHP) baseline is most relevant, as it addresses sanitation, pest control and hygiene procedures required by local authorities and international buyers.

How long does an on‑site audit take?

The duration depends on the size of the facility and the scope chosen, but a typical audit for a single baseline ranges from one to three days, allowing the auditor to review documentation and perform visual checks.

Can AuditCert help me set Science Based Targets?

Yes. Our SBTi service assists organisations in calculating emissions, defining targets that align with climate science and preparing the documentation required for external validation.
