OUR FACTORY HAS BOTH THE BRC AND IFS SYSTEM, OR DO WE HAVE TO ASSESS FOR EACH STANDARD SEPARATELY

BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE HAVE MADE AN IFS COUNTERFEIT RISK ASSESSMENT AND A LIMITATION PLAN, IT COUNTS WITH AUTHENTICITY

DOES HE UNDERSTAND WRONG?

 

ADDITIONALLY I HAVE A QUESTION

IN SECTION BRC 3.5 WHEN ASSESSING A RAW MATERIAL RISK, THE ISSUE OF REPLACEMENT AND FRAUD SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

COULD IT NOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THIS ASSESSMENT ONLY SEPARATELY AS A PRODUCT FRAUD?

I think YES because BRC/IFS text responses are often probably too different/difficult to combine unless you can produce a (combined) Manual(s) which an Auditor can readily understand. (Although examples of some combined manuals do exist on this Forum, eg ISO9001/BRC). Some people here are certified to multiple GFSI Standards so should have some input on yr query.

Sorry, I am not familiar with IFS.

If you are referring to Fraud in 3.5.1.1 and Fraud in 5.4.2, you can answer the Fraud requirements  in either Clause and use a cross-reference.
