BRC certification, currently called BRCGS (British Retail Consortium Global Standards) stands for food safety and was developed in 1998 by the British Retail Consortium. It defines the requirements that organisations producing or packaging food must meet regarding quality and food safety. The various elements of the standard are tested against a detailed checklist containing more than 300 checkpoints.
Obtain BRC certificate
The standard for achieving a BRC certificate is made up of the following points;
