BRC is a certification standard developed in the UK with international recognition, which contains the requirements of a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control) system in accordance with the requirements of the Codex Alimentarius, a documented quality management system, and the control of requirements of the environmental conditions of the facilities, products, processes, and personnel.

The BRC Global Standard for Food Safety standard has been developed to help distributors comply with the legal obligations of food safety and guarantee the highest level of consumer protection. The commitment to food safety, internal improvements and improved consistency and transparency in the safety of processes and products are part of a series of benefits obtained by having the BRC certification.
