Description
The BRC Packaging Standard for containers and packaging materials, originally developed jointly by the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and the Institute of Packaging (IOP), is currently considered the reference framework to guarantee the safety, legality and the quality of the containers and the packaging material used, both in the food industry and in other industries, being a standard highly demanded by manufacturers of food products, pharmaceutical products and cosmetics.
The Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials is the first such standard in the world to be recognized by the Global Global Food Safety Initiative (GSFI).
This standard provides guidance to help all packaging manufacturers produce safe packaging materials and manage product quality to meet customer requirements. Many brand owners, retailers, foodservice companies and manufacturers around the world acknowledge certification against the Standard when evaluating the capabilities of their suppliers.
