BRC Global Standard – Storage and Distribution

Background :-
The British Retail Consortium (BRC), which is the trade association representing 90% of the retail trade in the UK has developed a storage and distribution standard which has designed to fill the gap in the food supply chain.

Why have a Standard ?:- U.K. Retailers and their supplies of retail branded products must take "all reasonable precautions and exercise all due diligence". Including the activities associated with the storage and distribution of food and food related products. This standard has been developed to bridge that gap.

The Standard will help protect consumers by providing a common basis for the audit of companies supplying storage and distribution services to retailers and other food industry companies.

The Standard Requires:

1. The adoption of a formal Hazard Analysis System.
2. A documented Technical Management System.
3. The control of storage and distribution standards, processes and personnel.

The Standard consists of 4 modules,
1. Storage
2. Distribution
3. Wholesaling
4. Contracted Services
