BRCGS Packaging Materials

The BRCGS Packaging Materials Global Standard has been created for suppliers of packaging and packaging materials for the food industry. Standard was developed by the British Retail Consortium and the Institute of Packaging.

The purpose of the BRCGS Packaging Materials was to facilitate manufacturers to comply with both the legal requirements and the requirements of retailers who market products under their own name, as well as ensuring that the packaging materials are safe for users.

Currently, this Standard is a leading international standard used by retailers, manufacturers and packaging industries worldwide. In February 2011, last 4 version of the standard was published.

BRCGS Packaging Materials contains requirements for plant and production health and quality management system, which will lead to the creation of safe product that is compliant with quality requirements.

The basis of BRCGS Packaging Materials system establishment is to determine how the product is produced. In general, the two categories of products can be considered as follows: 

• High hygiene risk - Packaging that comes into direct contact with food products (or other designated hygiene-sensitive products). Primary packaging used for food or other hygiene-sensitive products where there is no absolute barrier in place.
• Low hygiene risk - Packaging for consumer products and the secondary and tertiary packaging for all uses.
