For IFS once you have 2 inspections at Higher level then the frequency goes down from 12 month to 18 months, while the BRC audit remains at 12 months.

Strange they didn't take the opportunity to iron out the anomaly with the latest revision of the BRC Standard. I wonder was it money or safety?

I think the BRC are looking at safety.

They are looking at having 2 different audit frequencies, i.e. 6 and 12 months, which I believe is more like the packaging standard.

I think the BRC are looking at safety.

I believe the reason is similar to that of a HACCP audit - it has got to be for safety reason. The longer the time period prior to the next audit, the opportunity for food safety abuse becomes more "attractive"

the new BRC Food is competing with IFS v4. The BRC tried to be tough but the CBs are different. The only reason is there are too many CBs can do BRC food audit. They are competing each other by cost, result and etc.

In this way, there is no way to compete with any other standards altough I agree that the technical protocol of BRC food v4 is much better than that of IFS v4 in wording (English).

So what are you saying Ding - the Standard is not being applied consistently? If so the issue must be raised if we are not to head down the same path as the tarnished ISO 9000.
