BRCGS certification refers to Brand Reputation through Compliance, a food quality standard required by all suppliers who target international large-scale market distribution.
The certification (based on HACCP), was designed to define and enforce the operational criteria for packaging material manufacturers to ensure total packaging reliability and safety, in order to protect the end consumer.
Worldwide, this standard has reached such influence that it has spread into the food & beverage markets to affect every level of the production chain, and it has changed its name to BRC Global Standard
“BRCGS’ Standards guarantee the standardization of quality, safety and operational criteria and ensure that manufacturers fulfill their legal obligations and provide protection for the end consumer. Certification to BRCGS’ Standards is now often a fundamental requirement of leading retailers, manufacturers and food service organisations.”
This strict international guideline in the food sector covers specific paramaters for ultimate quality and saftey in packaging, but also allows all parties in the supply chain to select, qualify and monitor their suppliers.
