BSI Management Systems participated in the China launch of the new British Retail Consortium (BRC) global standard - Consumer Products.

The BRC event took place in Guangzhou, China.

The revised and updated BRC Global Standard - Consumer Products (Issue 2) is designed to allow suppliers to best utilise factory preparation time, man hours and audit costs for several end customers, therefore reducing their total costs of doing business with European Union retailers, said BSI Management Systems.

The event offered consumer goods suppliers who are doing, or would like to do business with major international retailers, the opportunity to understand retailers' obligations to supply safe and legal products to their consumers and the requirements that manufacturing and assembly packing companies need to demonstrate in maintaining product safety, legality and integrity.

The standard is supported by U.K. and international retailers such as Tesco, Metro, Asda, Sainsbury's, Ahold, Waitrose, Co-op, Migros and others who are implementing it in their supply chain.
