Following the launch of The BRC/IoP Packaging Standard in October 2001 the major UK Retailers
set firm deadlines for suppliers of retailer branded packaging to become certificated to the standard.
- Marks & Spencer (by end of 2002)
- Sainsbury's (by April 2003)
- Safeway (by April 2003)
- Co-op (by April 2003)
- Tesco (by April 2003)
- Waitrose (by October 2003)
Now that virtually all of the deadlines have expired what's happening?
Is everyone now certificated?
Are non-certificated suppliers being dropped in favour of certificated suppliers?
Have retailers moved the goalposts and extended the deadlines? If so what are they?
If you have certification to The BRC/IoP Packaging Standard do you feel duped?
I'm thinking of starting a central register of organisations with BRC/IoP Certification - if you've got it why not promote it! The register could include (company name, area/country, date of initial certification, date of expiry, scope, certificate no.). It would mean some work on my part but I think it has mileage - what do you think?
