Released on August 12 2003, The BRC Global Standard
- Consumer Products is a voluntary certification standard for consumer
(non-food) products with its scope covering a variety of diverse industries
and product categories such as:
- Tobacco and Accessories
- Decorating and DIY Supplies
- Games, Toys and Hobbies
- Personal Care
- Recording Materials (Audio & Visual)
- Travel Goods
- Pet Related Products
The above is not a complete list by any means, and an overview of the
standard including full details of the product categories can be downloaded
from the BRC
website.
The standard has been developed to promote product safety, legality and
quality and to help retailers fulfil their obligations to this end. The
Standard will provide a common approach to the certification of companies
providing consumer goods to UK retailers, and requires:
- the adoption of a hazard analysis and appropriate
controls established
- a documented and effective quality management system
- the effective control of factory environment standards, products, process
and personnel
