Frequently Asked Questions

Have Question? We are here to help

What is BRCGS Certification?

BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) certification is a globally recognized standard that ensures the safety, quality, and legality of products, covering various industries like food production, packaging, and storage. Achieving BRCGS certification helps businesses meet regulatory requirements, reduce risks, and gain customer trust, ultimately enhancing market access and protecting brand reputation.

What are the main standards under BRCGS?
  • Food Safety
  • Packaging Materials
  • Storage and Distribution
  • Agents and Brokers
  • Consumer Products
  • Gluten-Free Certification Program
  • Plant-Based Certification
How does BRCGS differ from other food safety standards like SQF or FSSC 22000?

While all these standards focus on food safety, BRCGS places a strong emphasis on product quality, safety, and legality, as well as supplier management and food safety culture. It also requires annual audits for recertification, whereas FSSC 22000 is based on ISO standards and has a three-year cycle with surveillance audits. SQF, another GFSI-recognized standard, integrates food quality standards more directly within its levels.

What happens if we fail an audit or identify non-conformities?

If an audit identifies non-conformities, the company must implement corrective actions within a specified timeframe to address the issues. Failure to correct major non-conformities can lead to suspension of certification. The certification body will often conduct a follow-up audit to verify that the issues have been resolved.

How long does it typically take to get certified, and what is the process?

The process generally takes 3-6 months, depending on the company’s readiness. It involves developing the necessary systems, conducting a gap analysis, implementing corrective actions, and preparing for the audit. After the audit, any non-conformities must be addressed before certification is granted.

What is a gap analysis for BRCGS?
A gap analysis for BRCGS is an evaluation process that compares a company's current food safety and quality management practices against the requirements of the BRCGS standard. It helps identify any deficiencies or gaps that need to be addressed before undergoing the official certification audit. The gap analysis includes:
  • Reviewing Existing Systems: Evaluates current food safety procedures, documentation, and quality management systems.
  • Identifying Non-Conformities: Highlights areas where current practices do not meet BRCGS requirements.
  • Assessing Prerequisite Programs (PRPs): Checks foundational programs such as sanitation, pest control, and training for alignment with BRCGS standards.
  • Evaluating Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP): Ensures that the company's hazard control measures are adequate and effective.
  • Providing Corrective Action Recommendations: Offers guidance on how to address identified gaps and achieve compliance.
  • Preparing for the Certification Audit: Helps the company strengthen its systems to meet BRCGS standards, increasing the chances of a successful certification.

A gap analysis serves as a roadmap for companies to improve their processes and achieve compliance with BRCGS requirements.

Can BRCGS certification apply to non-food products, like packaging or logistics?

Yes, BRCGS has standards for different sectors, including food safety, packaging materials, storage and distribution, consumer products, and retail. Certification can be applied to packaging materials and logistics providers, ensuring safety and quality throughout the supply chain.

What are the costs associated with BRCGS certification, including audits and corrective actions?

Costs can vary depending on the size and complexity of the organization. Expenses may include initial assessment fees, audit costs, corrective action implementation, training, and certification body fees. It’s also important to budget for annual audits to maintain certification.
