So most focus is on V7 now but im still lucky enough to be on V6 for one more audit.
I am currently looking at this clause and what we do. but have a question.
What is an internationally recognized standard?
we have 1 storage and distribution company that is BRC certified so no issue there but we are looking at a new supplier and although they do not have a BRC for storage and distribution they are either members of certified to or registered to the following:
ISO9001:2008 Certified
IATA = International Air Transport Association (registered)
RHA = Road Haulage Association (Certified)
BIFA = British International Freight Association (Registered)
UKAS registered
Now i know that most of the above is not going to be relevant directly to what is considered Internationally Recognized but what about ISO? i understand that BRC is built on a frame work that is very much like ISO but would this constitute the requirement?
If it does i would not need to have a service agreement ensuring the whole 4.15 section is contained within it, the same as if they held BRC for distribution and storage.
if this info above does not cover what is classed by recognized.. then i guess i would need to have: 1) service agreement out lining the requirements of 4.15 and 2) verify the agreement is met / being maintained by means of a 2nd party audit?
