No indication of significance Itsalleasy (talk) 16:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete – As Itsalleasy said, there is no significance. There are also no outside sources; only the company's website itself. United States Man (talk) 17:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to have sufficient significance as a recognized professional body. --Michig (talk) 19:26, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: I have added a couple of references though more are really needed to demonstrate WP:ORGDEPTH. However I can see their membership listed in UK legislation as a food examiner qualification, its presidency listed among the attributes of a member of the General Advisory Committee on Science, and articles such as this from the Guardian treat it as a key industry body on a par with the CBI, which is tending towards evidence.

 * Keep. Professional associations in major countries are generally notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 21:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep It appears to be a professional association concerned with accrediting practitioners and maintaining standards. Even if small, it should be notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
