New BRC Global Standard was published
01.09.2016
RC Global Standard for Retail Issue 1 has been developed to provide a framework to manage product safety, quality, and legality for businesses in the food retail industry which buy and sell products. These companies play an essential role in the delivery and trade of products, providing a critical link in their chain of custody. They can influence product safety and quality standards at their suppliers and are responsible for maintaining an effective chain of traceability, as well as managing the safety and integrity of products in their care. Where activities include importation there are in many cases specific legal obligations with regard to the products which they import and requirements to maintain records which may later be requested by authorities.
