BRC Global Standards
The BRC Global Standards are a suite of four industry-leading Technical Standards that specify requirements to be met by an organisation to enable the production, packaging, storage and distribution of safe food and consumer products. Originally developed in response to the needs of UK members of the BRC, the Standards have gained usage world-wide and are specified by growing numbers of retailers and branded manufacturers in the EU, North America and further afield. Certification to a Global Standard, which is achieved through audit by a third party Certification Bodies, reassures retailers and branded manufacturers of the capability and competence of the supplier, and reduces the need for retailers and manufacturers to carry out their own audits, thereby reducing the administrative burden on both the supplier and the customer. To date over 17,500 companies operating in over 90 countries have achieved certification against one of the BRC Global Standards. A record of companies achieving certification is maintained on the BRC Global Standards Directory. To support the BRC Global Standards the BRC also offers a wide range of training courses through an international network of Approved Training Providers. Please direct any enquires related to the BRC Global Standards to our Customer Service Co-ordinator on +44 (0) 20 7854 8939 or email brcglobalstandards@brc.org.uk or for further information about the BRC Global Standards Certification Scheme please visit www.brcglobalstandards.com
