BRCGS Global Standards

BRCGS is a global family of certification Standards spanning food, packaging, storage & distribution, agents & brokers and consumer products. RTNTS is an approved BRCGS training partner and consultant — and we provide consultancy and training across the full BRCGS portfolio, not just Food Safety.

The standard

What is BRCGS?

BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) is the organisation behind a whole family of internationally recognised certification Standards, used across more than 130 countries to give buyers and consumers confidence in product safety, quality and legality. Many UK and international retailers, brand owners and buyers require BRCGS certification as a condition of supply.

Its flagship, the Global Standard Food Safety (Issue 9), is GFSI-benchmarked and has grown to more than 24,500 certificated sites worldwide — but the portfolio extends far beyond food, into packaging, storage & distribution, agents & brokers, consumer products and a range of specialist programmes. Whichever Standard applies to your business, RTNTS provides the consultancy and training to help you achieve and keep it.
