SQF 7.2 vs BRC Issue 7 comparative matrix
All 20 sites of our company are SQF, we have just aquired 5 new facilities that are currently BRC issue 6 and 7. We wish to convert these facilities to SQF 7.2 and we are looking to see if anyone has a cross reference matrix that will show or link each SQF 7.2 requirement to the BRC issue 6 or 7 requirements.
Thanks for your help

This is will be interesting topics for me as one of my supplier was asking the same question. They would like to GFSI certified supplier. Our company is using SQF at the moment.. Waiting for reply :)

Hi Denis.
Up-to-date, detailed, comparisons of the GFSI recognised standards seem to be rare.
There should be a tabulation on the GFSI website but probably only dated at ca. 2012. Access requires (free) sign up but the system seems clunky. :smile:
I have attached the latest cross-matrix evaluations I could find below in chronological order. Regrettably, Brc 6/7 so far not turned up. Hopefully other pairs of eyes will do better. :smile:
The 2011 item is sparse on detail but quite well arranged/commented IMO.

addendum
Just for interest, here is a brc3 comparison which has IMO a nicely laid out format (see the tables at extreme end of file).

Note the relatively simpler expectations, eg no direct allergenic entries. Times have changed. :smile:
PS - just in case anyone might be interested, there is a cross-matrix of brc6 / ifs6 here -
