BRC Global Standard Packaging Issue 5

Due to be published July 01, 2015.

According to their recent press release issue 5 will focus on:

• a move from ‘good practice’ to ‘best practice’
•  the quality management systems process in printed packaging controls
• continuing to ensure consistency of the audit process
• providing a Standard that meets retailers’ and brand owners’ needs to reduce the audit burden
• better recognition of the diversity of the packaging industry and its customers’ demands
• encouraging greater transparency and traceability in the supply chain
• encouraging adoption of the Standard as a means of improving product safety at small sites and facilities where processes are still in development

Are you prepared?

Regards,

Simon

Hi everyone,

Do BRC publish what has changed between Version 4 and 5 or do we have to go through both versions doing a gap analysis?

Has anyone already done a gap analysis or have a detailed summary of the changes?

BRC stated that they will be publishing a document in late July regarding what has been changed from Issue 4 to Issue 5!

I'm part way though doing one and will be available in a couple of day's.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing it and thanks in advance for biting the bullet on this
