WHY USE THE BRC GLOBAL STANDARD?

BRAND CONFIDENCE

Whether you’re an established global supplier of packaging and packaging materials or based in an emerging market, the standard will help ensure your customers have confidence in your products.

By improving product safety, the standard will also help you reduce waste, complaints, recalls and rejected products through a cycle of continuous improvement. Many retailers, brand owners, raw material processors and packaging manufacturers around the world support the use of the standard and accept it as part of their supplier approval processes.

​

ACHIEVABLE AND CHALLENGING

Developed by packaging industry experts, the BRC Global Standard is challenging yet achievable and is designed to improve the supply chain through a cycle of continous improvement

The BRC Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials is the first Packaging Standard in the world to be recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GSFI) benchmarking committee. It’s why over 3,500 suppliers in over 80 countries have chosen to be certificated to this scheme and is recommended or accepted by specifiers worldwide.

The BRC Packaging Standard can be used by any manufacturer producing packaging materials for all types of products - from food to consumer products - at all levels: primary, secondary and tertiary.


Issue 5 of the BRC Global Standard was published in July 2015 after consultation with industry experts and we’ve designed the Standard to help you adopt good manufacturing practices and support quality management systems. This will help you develop and manufacture safe, legal packaging materials that meet the quality levels expected by your customers and consumers.


The BRC Global Standard is divided into eight manufacturing technologies:

​

  • Glass manufacture and forming

  • Papermaking and conversion

  • Metal forming

  • Rigid plastics forming

  • Flexible plastics manufacture

  • Other manufacturing

  • Print processes

  • Chemical processes

​

​

We work closely with our clients to ensure  compliance is achieved first time, every time.
