BRC Packaging and packaging materials

BRC Packaging Materials is a standard for the hygienic and sanitary safety of food packaging and all materials that come into contact with food, consumer products, as well as secondary and tertiary packaging for all uses.
Key benefits:

• Prove that you have taken the necessary safety precautions

• get more confidence along the supply chain
• improve relations with the food safety authorities

Regulatory Focus

RINA issues the BRC Packaging Materials compliance certification, which integrates the management system for the production of food packaging, requiring the adoption of a formal risk analysis system (HACCP) and the control of the production environment, processes, products, and staff.
BRC Packaging is developed by the British Retail Consortium with the support of the Institute of Packaging and the associations representing food packaging manufacturers, on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 2023/2006.

Certification Procedure

• Information questionnaire compiled and submitted to RINA
• submission of the technical/economic offer which, once accepted, constitutes a service contract
• audit at the company and related reporting
• reporting on the BRC Portal, ensuring maximum visibility of the result obtained.
