BRC Global Standards will publish the fifth issue of its Global Standard for Packaging and Packing Materials on July 1.
“Building on the core principles of management commitment, a hazard and risk analysis-based product safety program and a supporting quality management system, the objective of the rewrite of Issue 5 has been to direct the focus of the audit towards the implementation of good manufacturing practices within the production areas while recognizing the diversity and breadth of the packaging industry, and the skills required to audit it,” said Joanna Griffiths, BRC Global Standards’ packaging technical manager. “We believe Issue 5 is in a great position to continue the growth of the Standard and the industry’s confidence in it.”
