Unfortunately haven't come across a scanned copy (after all, it is copyright - we are all such honest chaps that we don't trade in such items, but....)

The EFSIS standard is not exactly the same as the BRC standard, but it does incorporate all the BRC requirements. The EFSIS standard lists an additional 15 requirements at foundation level, 3 at higher level and a further 18 recommendations. Some of recommendations involve social accountability and environmental policy so they go outside of the BRC standard whilst others are additonal interpretations of the standard.

The contents are also structured in a different order to the BRC standard and has 36 sections with for example, haccp on section 28.

Only EFSIS audit to the EFSIS standard as opposed to many companies who audit to the BRC standard which makes BRC more flexible when it comes to choice of auditors.

Not quite the same but hope it helps anyway

Thanks Ken, it's an important point. We do not condone the exchange of copyrighted materials such as published standards on these forums so please refrain from asking.
