Dear aps,
You omitted to mention what standard you are referring to but assuming the ISO documentation pyramid is involved, the top (policy) tier is intended to, at a minimum, textually spell out within the defined scope, how the company's policies will satisfy the requirements of the standard.
I daresay you knew that already ?

Dear aps,
I’m rather unclear how you are defining “policies” with respect to the BRC Standard’s content. Not necessarily criticising since the chosen method is optional as long as it fulfills the overall requirement, eg
(my underline)The purpose of a Quality Policy Manual is to show the commitment of upper management to follow the ISO 9000 standards and to state the company philosophy and policies toward satisfying each of the standard's requirements.
Policy: a set of principles that is used as a guide for action, esp. in a government or business.
Procedures: a series of actions necessary for accomplishing a particular goal; course of action.
( http://www.ehow.com/...procedures.html )In the simplest terms, a policy defines an outcome, while a procedure defines the means to the end. For example, it might be company policy that all employee purchases be rung up by another employee, while the procedure to achieve that might be that receipts must include both the name of the employee who made the purchase and the name of the employee who rang it up.
.Most documents stating a company's policies simply tell what course of action the company takes
“Since most Quality Policy Manuals follow the numbering format from the ISO 9000 standard they are using, the meat of the policies consist of the 20 subsections of section 4.0. Each of those subsections includes one or more policy statements.”
