The BRCGS Global Standard for Storage and Distribution was initially developed and published in 2006, and we are now auditing to Issue 3 of the standard, which was published in August 2016, and implemented in February 2017.
The standard has been developed to cover all activities which may affect the safety, quality and legality of the products stored and distributed, and of additional contracted services provided by storage and distribution companies.

Multiple Standard's Initiative

Many companies hold multiple standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or ISO 45001, and through our office, we can administer the process of multiple audits, whilst also saving companies money by having audit teams visit together to bring all standards in line with each other with regards expiry dates.
