BRC (British Retailer Consortium)

BRC is a certification system required by a lot of British, but also Belgian and Dutch retailers from their private label suppliers. BRC focuses on food safety and hygiene in the food-processing industry.

Key requirements for BRC certification are

• a detailed and well implemented HACCP system.

• a quality management system.

• control of factory environment.

• finished product requirements.

• production process regulations.

• personnel hygiene regulations.
