The scopes in British Retail Consortium standard
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard for Food Safety covers a variety of scopes designed to ensure quality, safety, and operational standards across the food production and supply chain. Each scope focuses on specific areas of production, distribution, and packaging. Here’s an overview of the key scopes in the BRC standard:

1. Food Safety
This is the primary scope of the BRC standard, covering food manufacturers and processors. It focuses on ensuring the safety, legality, and quality of food products. Key areas include:

• Food safety management systems
• Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP)
• Good manufacturing practices (GMP)
• Traceability of ingredients and products

2. Packaging and Packaging Materials
This scope addresses the safety and quality of packaging materials that come into direct contact with food. It ensures that packaging manufacturers and suppliers meet hygiene and quality standards, preventing contamination and maintaining product integrity.

3. Storage and Distribution
This scope is designed for companies involved in the storage and transportation of food products. It focuses on maintaining safety and hygiene standards during the storage, handling, and distribution of goods, ensuring that food products remain safe throughout the supply chain.

4. Agents and Brokers
This scope applies to companies that buy, sell, or facilitate the trade of food products but do not physically handle them. It ensures that agents and brokers meet the same safety, legality, and quality requirements as manufacturers and processors by monitoring their suppliers.

5. Consumer Products
BRC’s Consumer Products scope focuses on the safety, quality, and legality of non-food products, such as cosmetics, household goods, and personal care items. It ensures that manufacturers meet industry standards and customer expectations in these product categories.

6. Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP)
BRC also offers a specific certification for gluten-free products, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for gluten-free claims. This scope applies to manufacturers producing gluten-free items and is particularly important for businesses targeting customers with dietary restrictions.
 

7. Retail
This scope is tailored to the retail sector, helping supermarkets, grocery stores, and other retail outlets maintain food safety standards. It covers food handling, packaging, and storage in retail environments.

Each of these abovementioned BRC scopes plays a critical role in ensuring that businesses meet the required safety, quality, and regulatory standards. By achieving certification in one or more of these scopes through Baltic Control® Certification, companies can assure their customers of their commitment to safety, quality, and legal compliance across their operations.
