Overview
This management system is written to the BRCGS Global Standard for Storage and Distribution, Issue 4, the standard many customers still ask for by its former name, BRC Storage and Distribution. It applies to warehousing, transport, wholesale and contracted logistics operations that store, distribute, handle and wholesale food, packaging and consumer products, including sites that take ownership of goods and those adding case-picking, labelling, blending or repacking. Requirements are traced clause by clause, in the order an auditor works.
Issue 4 rests on senior management commitment and a hazard and risk analysis approach to threats against safety, quality and integrity, backed by controls for site and building standards, product control, cleaning and housekeeping, pest management, personnel practices, transport and vehicle management, and stock control. Voluntary modules extend the scope to wholesaling, contracted services and e-commerce fulfilment. Sitting between manufacture and the final customer, it continues the assurance of the BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety and other GFSI-recognised standards. Certification comes from an accredited certification body, graded on the number and significance of non-conformities, with certificates generally valid for twelve months subject to surveillance.
What this system covers
- Hazard and risk analysis: the HARA plan and corrective action at defined control points
- Transport and vehicle management: loading, outbound vehicle checking and dispatch release
- Site and building standards, sanitation limits, daily GMP inspection and preventive maintenance
- Pest management: monitoring, treatment, fumigation and control of the contractor
- Glass, brittle plastic, wood and metal control, breakage response and audit
- Allergen management and product integrity through contract packing, labelling and sleeving
- Site security and food defence: access control, visitor entry and threat assessment
- Traceability, product withdrawal and recall, emergency preparedness and incident reporting
Who it's for
Third-party logistics providers, ambient and temperature-controlled store operators, wholesalers and contract packers whose customers expect BRCGS Storage and Distribution certification. It is bought when an Issue 4 audit is booked, or when a supplier-approval process asks for evidence of controlled storage and transit. The team ends up with a clause-referenced framework to populate with site detail before the audit.
