What does the BRC Standard cover?
The BRC Standard covers a wide range of requirements – some of which are quite extensive. This is an extensive standard with detailed requirements around food defence and business continuity.
BRC Packaging Standard
The BRC Packaging standard is used by many of the Australian packaging companies to demonstrate strong quality assurance and food safety standards. QMS Audits has extensive experience from working in the Packaging industry, which helps us to put together quality manuals quite quickly.
How often are the BRC Audits?
The BRC Audits are 12 monthly, unless on a surveillance audit basis of 6 monthly. This is dependent on the results of the previous audit.
BRC Consulting with Multiple Standards
For clients with certification to multiple standards – such as SQF, WQA or Global Gap – we are experts in combining several standards into one streamlined quality manual that is easy to manage and effective during audit.
BRC Audit Attendance
We can also attend the audit to offer moral support and some technical help. We ensure the auditors stay on track. Everything comes back to the standard and reasonable expectations.
