BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety

A GFSI-recognised certification standard widely required by retailers and brand owners — and one we deliver as an approved training partner.

Approved Partner

The retailer's benchmark

The BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety (currently Issue 9) is one of the world's most widely adopted, GFSI-recognised food safety certification schemes. It is frequently a condition of supply for retailers, brand owners and food-service buyers.

The Standard sets requirements across senior-management commitment, a HACCP-based food safety plan, a food safety and quality management system, site and product controls, process control and people. Certification is awarded with a grade following an independent audit — and RTNTS UAE supports you as an approved training partner and consultant.
