Audits against Issue 6 will begin in January 2012

Internationally recognised as the market leaders, the BRC’s Global Standards set the benchmark for good manufacturing practices in food, packaging, consumer products and storage and distribution.

Adhering to the Standards allows suppliers to show they are maintaining high standards of safety, quality and legal compliance - and gives customer confidence in their suppliers.

Key features of the new Standard include:

• Increased emphasis on good manufacturing practices more detailed prescriptive requirements around key issues to improve consistency
• Increased emphasis on good manufacturing practices
• Outcome based statements of intent
• Enhanced unannounced audit scheme - making this more accessible
• New auditor training to ensure consistent BRC audit approach
