BRC: are you looking for Global Standards?

RPC Superfos Blackburn UK, has achieved an AA grade for the new BRC Global Standard 2015, High Hygiene Category, Issue 5. This external audit covers rigid plastics and print processes, and the Certificate documents that the processing activities at RPC Superfos Blackburn meet the BRC Global Standards (British Retail Consortium). It chronicles the packaging standard and best practice regarding product specifications, supplier approval, traceability management of incidents and product recalls. 

Important for food producers’ own production
Fraser Graham, Development Manager, RPC Superfos UK Region, explains:

“More and more often, we come across customers and potential customers wanting various certificates to be in place. Understandably, it is much easier to assess the quality of your packaging provider when certificates in the fields of management systems, hygiene, quality, energy and environment are available.”

“The new BRC Certificate for RPC Superfos Blackburn shows our customers that they get packaging which complies with requirements for freshness, hygiene and safety in their own production and supply chain.”
