Standard Overview
BRCGS Global Standard Food Safety
BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards), formerly known as BRC, was rebranded in 2019 by the British Retail Consortium. What began as a standard for retailer-branded product suppliers has now evolved into a globally accepted benchmark, with over 30,000 certified sites across 130+ countries.
The standard provides a structured framework to ensure food safety, quality, and operational excellence across the supply chain. As a GFSI-recognized scheme, it is widely accepted by major retailers in the UK, Europe, and globally. Eurocert Asia supports organizations with gap assessments, implementation guidance, and certification and surveillance audits.

It emphasizes senior management commitment, risk-based thinking, process control and traceability, and staff training and competence. Certification assures stakeholders that your operations meet internationally recognized food safety standards.
