BRC announces new Global Standard
BRC Global Standards has announced a publication date of January 2015 for the seventh issue of its internationally recognised Global Standard Food Safety.
Issue 7 will focus on:
- Ensuring consistency of the audit process
- Providing a standard that is flexible enough to allow voluntary modules to reduce the audit burden
- Encouraging systems to reduce exposure to fraud
- Promoting greater transparency and traceability in the supply chain
- Encouraging adoption of the Standard in small sites and facilities where processes are still in development.
Setting the standard internationally for best practices in food safety, certification to BRC’s Global Standard Food Safety allows suppliers worldwide to show customers that they are upholding the highest standards of safety, quality and legal compliance. Audits against Issue 7 are set to begin in July 2015.
