BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety

Home > Food & Safety > BRCGS

Food manufacturers can use BRCGS Global Standard for food safety to ensure the quality and safety of their products – gaining international acceptance and opening new markets.

BRCGS Global Standard is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standard used worldwide. BRCGS standards prescribe quality, safety and operational criteria manufacturers must meet. BRCGS fit alongside existing ISO and HACCP management systems.

Telarc can provide audits to help you become BRC certified. Not only that, but we can combine audits, giving you the benefits of financial savings and reduced auditing time on site.

To start the BRCGS certification process you must purchase a copy of the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety directly from the BRCGS website. Then conduct a preliminary self-assessment.

One of our BRCGS approved auditors can undertake a gap audit if needed. When you’re ready, Telarc will conduct the certification audit and either identify shortcomings or issue the BRCGS compliance certificate.

Telarc’s expert team will make the experience of attaining BRCGS food safety certification easy.

How to achieve certification

Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.

The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.

Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.
