认证流程
The Certification Process
I. 什么是“洁食(Kosher)”证书/WHAT IS KOSHER CERTIFICATION
您的产品或您提供的服务如果标有OU标记 ，说明您的产品或服务是在犹太正教联盟(OU)饮食教规部的监测下，处于“洁净(Kosher)”状态。这个标记已为广大洁食消费者认可，它表明该产品达到了最严格的洁净标准。
The OU symbol on your products or services indicates that their kosher status is being independently monitored by the staff of the Orthodox Union's Kashruth Division. That symbol is recognized by the kosher consumer as the sign that your products meet the strictest standards of kosher.
II. 认证申请/The Application
请提供公司以及生产过程的详细资料。我们对贵公司了解得越详细，就越可以高效迅速地办理您的认证。
Describe your company and its operations. The more we know about you, the more effectively and speedily we can process your application.
认证申请包括：
The application includes:
A. 公司概况/Company Profile
请确定贵公司与我们的联系人。请介绍贵公司的经营范围，需求和目标。
Please let us know with whom we will need to communicate. Describe your objectives, needs and goals.
B. 工厂概况/Plant Profile
洁食认证过程需要生产人员的紧密配合。我们需要知道下述部门负责人的姓名：生产，采购，原材料验收，包装材料的设计，营销以及广告宣传。如果待验产品在多个地点生产，我们需要了解每一个生产地点的情况。每个生产地点都应填写一张“工厂情况表”。
The maintenance of a kosher program requires the close involvement of production people. Let us know who is in charge of production, who orders and receives raw materials, who designs packaging materials, and who is in charge of marketing and advertising. If the products intended for certification or those identical to them are made at more than one facility, we need to know about each production site. Please complete a Plant Profile for each.
C. 原材料表/Plant Raw Material Listing
如果某个产品是洁净的，它所用的全部原料也必须是洁净的。原料是否洁净，必须由相关权威机构认定。请务必表明每种原料的生产厂家（仅提供代理商和分销商是不够的）。工厂内影响洁食认证的其他因素有：脱模剂是否经过洁食认证？同一生产线上加工的其它产品是否经过洁食认证？其它生产线是否经过洁食认证？因此，请务必提供每套生产设施的完整的原料表，并在与洁食认证无关的原材料上标以星号，以示区别。
If a product is to be considered kosher, all its ingredients need to be kosher. Kosher sensitive materials may be approved from recognized sources only. Please identify the manufacturer for each item (the broker or distributor names may not be adequate). Other factors in the plant may affect the kosher status of the product. Are release agents kosher? Are other products on the same processing line kosher? What about other lines? Therefore, please provide a complete raw material listing for each facility. Mark with an asterisk (*) those ingredients not associated with kosher production.
D. 产品认证申请/Product Approval Request
请提出需要认证的产品以及产品的归类：乳制品，肉制品，素馨食品（中性食品）或逾越节专用食品。根据原料的清单，我们可以确定产品是否可以通过认证，应当归入的类别。我们还需要知道产品的品牌。对于个性标签（贵公司的名称不在产品标签上出现），应提供分销商的名称和详细资料。
Tell us about the product(s) for certification. Do you wish to have the product(s) designated dairy, meat, pareve (neutral) or perhaps for Passover. The ingredient component list will help us determine if the product can be kosher and its designation. We'll need brand names. For Private Labels (i.e., your company's name does not appear on the label) please provide the distributor's name and particulars.
III. 首验及评估/Initial Inspection and Evaluation
认证申请初审合格后，我们的资深代表将到现场对生产装置进行评估。OU将预先向您收取相关的检验费用。犹太饮食教规委员会将审议现场代表提交的评估报告。在审议期间，我们将制作合同文本。
Subsequent to a satisfactory review of your application, your facility will need to be reviewed by a Senior Field Representative. The OU will pre-invoice your company for the costs associated with this inspection. His report will be reviewed by the Rabbinic Kashruth Commission. Pending their approval we will work to create the contract.
IV. 合同/The Contract
OU的“洁食证书”成就的是OU与厂家的一种伙伴关系，共同为洁食消费者提供洁净的食品。任何一种可靠的伙伴关系都需要载明条款的书面协议来确立。合同书列有标准条款，认证费和针对贵公司洁食认证特殊需要的特殊条款，此外还包括两个重要的细目表。
OU kosher certification is a partnership between the OU and the manufacturer to provide kosher products to the kosher consumer. Like any reliable partnership, a written agreement outlining the terms and provisions of the partnership is essential. The contract is a list of standard clauses, certification fees and special clauses crafted to specific needs or situations pertaining to your company's kosher program. The contract also includes two important Schedules.
表A/Schedule A
表A列出了通过洁食认证的贵公司生产设施使用的原料。一般来说，该表列出的是该生产设施使用的所有原料的明细。某些情况下，我们会同意在非洁净食品工艺中使用非洁净原料，只要其不影响通过洁食认证的产品的洁净状态。
Schedule A is a list of approved ingredients used in your facility. Generally this schedule is a composite of all raw materials maintained in the facility. In some circumstances, we will approve non-kosher materials for non-kosher processes, providing that those do not and cannot compromise the kosher status of the certified products.
表B/Schedule B
表B列出了通过洁食认证的品牌、产成品和所属类别：OU为苏馨食品；OU-D为乳制品；OU-Meat为肉制品；OU-P为逾越节专用食品。该表在OU洁食认证书中会有体现。
Schedule B is the list of finished certified brands and products with their designations. OU for Pareve. OU-D for Dairy. OU-Meat for Meat. OU-P for Passover. This document will be reflected in the OU kosher certificate.
V. 复验及证书/Re-Inspection and Certification
在签署正式合同、缴纳相关费用后，OU的特派教职检察员将审查合同的履行情况。OU颁布洁食证书后，工厂可以开始进行洁食生产。贵公司的认证也将从我们负责新公司认证的部门移交给特派教职检察员，由其定期对工厂进行检察。
Upon completion of the signed contract and payment of certification fees, the OU's designated Rabbinic Inspector will review compliance with the signed agreement. The OU will then issue its kosher certificate, and kosher production may commence. Your company's certification will be transferred from the New Company Department to an officially designated Rabbinic Coordinator on our staff. Your company will be reviewed periodically by the Rabbinic Inspector.
