BRCGS Certification North America

BRCGS Certification | North America

As a GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) recognized scheme, BRCGS Global Food Standards incorporates both international and domestic regulations into its food safety certification program. The BRCGS certification standard contains requirements for food processors to build an effective food safety management system. There are editions of the standard for food packaging manufacturers, storage and distribution, and agents and brokers. 

BRCGS performs performance reviews of its certification bodies every 6 months.  Strict rules are laid down which detail the responsibilities of the certification body and auditors.

During these performance reviews, five key areas are reviewed:

  • Quality of written audit reports
  • Compliance to protocols
  • Auditor registration and compliance training, experience and competence requirements
  • Timeliness of audit data uploaded to the BRCGS Directory
  • Communication with the BRCGS compliance team

By achieving BRCGS Certification, your company will benefit from:

  • Satisfying the HACCP requirement of your retailer and food service customers
  • Ensure compliance to legal obligations
  • Enhanced food safety and management systems
  • Increased consumer confidence in your products
  • Boost your brand and corporate image
  • Expanded presence in the market to new and prospective clients
