BRC Packaging Certification - Safe and Hygienic Packaging

BRC Packaging

The BRC Packaging Certification has been designed by the BRC and the Institute of packaging to provide a technical standard for manufacturers producing packaging materials for all types of products, on any level. The standard looks to implement effective systems and procedures to ensure the quality of packaging for food and non-food use. Since its launch in 2001, the standard has gained the approval by many major retailers and packaging businesses across the world.

What are the benefits of BRC Packaging Certification?

The presence of a BRC Packaging certification demonstrates to potential and current customers that your business operates to a globally recognised standard of quality for packaging. This certification provides customers with confidence in the safety of your operation and can prove compliance with supplier approval processes. The BRC Packaging Standard is the first packaging standard to be recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative benchmarking committee. As a result, over 3,500 suppliers in over 80 countries have chosen to be certificated to this scheme. For packaging businesses looking to grow their business and attract new clients, a BRC certification can open up conversations with potential clients looking for suppliers that meet the requirements of their supplier approval process.

Would the BRC Packaging certification be suitable for my business?

The packaging standard is suitable for any manufacturers of packaging or packaging materials, such as:

• producers who manufacture raw materials for use in packaging

• production of packaging materials for conversion of printing

• supplying materials from stock where additional processing or repacking occurs

• packaging manufacturers who also manufacture consumer disposable goods such as paper plates

Gain a competitive edge over other businesses within the industry.

Comply with Supplier Approval Processes with a third party safety standard.

How can we help?

Our approach to BRC Consultancy is to work closely with our clients to develop tailored routes to compliance. We work hard to create optimised solutions that guide clients to certification without excessive expense on time or costs.

Gap Analysis

To start the route to certification, one of our highly qualified consultants will conduct an on-site gap analysis to assess the existing level of compliance.

A Gap Analysis will assess:

• what food safety systems are currently in place

• how current systems compare to requirements of the standard

• paperwork systems

• fabrication

• personnel requirements

The results of a Gap Analysis will highlight any areas of weakness that may need improvement in order to achieve certification.

Throughout the process to certification, we are always on hand to assist in any way possible to ensure a smooth transition to certification. Our highly qualified consultants are available across the UK.

WOODS FOODSERVICE

"We required a third party audit of our catering service and a general Health & Safety audit of our cleaning delivery. CFS worked very closely with TCFM and generated a purpose built audit programme to suit specific issues that we were interested in."

TC Facilities management

"We have used CFS to support us with our BRC Storage & Distribution accreditation for several years now. Their approach is always professional but at the same time straight forward and down to earth with an awareness and understanding of what is practical, achievable and compliant for our specific environment. I’ve always found working with them very easy as they are knowledgeable and informative, as well as being helpful and hands on if something needs to be done.

Having successfully guided and supported us through several audits it was therefore a very easy decision to use CFS for their Health & Safety consultancy services too. Once again, the same approach and ethos is applied which is invaluable to small business such as ours.

I’ve also used their online shop to buy both equipment and some e-learning courses. I couldn’t ask for a better service really!"

Any queries we have are answered, any problems we have are resolved and we feel confident that CFS will help us achieve our end goal of BRC and provide us with excellent aftercare. Thank you for your fantastic help so far!"

Kent Dairy

"We have used CFS for a number of years and find them to be extremely professional whilst also becoming almost like a member of our own staff.

Our business is undoubtedly safer due to the top level of advice and service they provide."

Taylor Foods

"We’ve worked with the guys at CFS for many years now, both in large businesses and now in a small start-up. The CFS team are an extension of our full-time staff. They understand what’s possible and what isn’t and ensure that the solutions & proposals are tailored accordingly. We’ve just had our first audit and I’m pleased to say that we obtained an A with just one minor – which was a faulty temperature probe on the day of the audit.

Matt ensured that the systems in place are suitable for our business and as such they are completed as part of our day to day operation. Forms and processes were drawn up from scratch. Their web based system makes it easy to see who needs a kick and what items are falling behind as the audit was looming."
