Ensure Product Quality and Safety

The BRC Global Standard for Storage and Distribution certification audit is designed for logistics operations that are responsible for food or packaging at any point in the distribution chain. It effectively bridges the gap between safety at food manufacturer sites and at retailer sites by promoting best practices and facilitating a process of continuous improvement through a risk-based product safety management system. The goal is to ensure that product quality and safety are maintained throughout storage and distribution.

The standard can be applied to storage and/or distribution operations at any point in the distribution chain, from primary production to retail.
This standard is flexible, as operations can implement the full scope or a scope relevant to their operation, such as storage only, distribution only, or transport only.
Additional modules can be chosen to cover e-commerce, cross-docking, wholesale, contracted packing, inspection, e-commerce and waste management.

The BRC Global Standard for Storage and Distribution is an internationally recognized certification that encourages best practices within the storage and distribution chain, ensuring product quality and food safety are maintained. Duration is based on the size and complexity of the facility and its operations, but most require 1.5 days on-site, with an additional half day devoted to writing the report and managing the corrective action process.
