Scope And Application :

THE SCOPE OF THE BRCGS GLOBAL STANDARD – FOOD

The BRCGS Global Standard – Food specifies the requirements for the manufacturer of processed foods, branded food products and food or ingredients for use by foodservice companies, catering companies and food manufacturers.

 

BRCGS food safety Certification scheme is applicable to products that have been manufactured or prepared at the site and storage facilities that are under the direct control of the production site management.

 

The Standard shall not apply to activities relating to:

 

Wholesale

Importation

Distribution or storage (outside the direct control of the company).

 

Implementation Benefits:

 

There are a number of benefits arising from the use of the BRCGS – Food safety standard:

A single standard and protocol that allows an evaluation by third-party certification bodies which shall be accredited to an international Standard ISO/IEC Guide 65

Single verification commissioned by the manufacturer or supplier, in line with an agreed evaluation

Frequency will allow both manufacturers and suppliers to report upon their status to food retailers and other organizations as agreed

The BRCGS – Food safety standard is comprehensive in scope covering areas of quality, hygiene and product safety throughout the food industry

The Standard addresses part of the 'due diligence' requirements of the food manufacturer/supplier, packer/filler and retailer. Food manufacturers may also use this Standard to ensure their suppliers are following good hygiene practices and complete the 'due diligence' chain

Within the associated protocol, there is a requirement for ongoing surveillance and confirmation of the follow-up of corrective actions on non-conformance to the Standard thus ensuring that a self-improving quality, hygiene and product safety system is established.
