BRC/IoP Global Standard
In 2006 Intercolor were one of the first UK ink companies to achieve accreditation to the BRC/IoP Global Standard
Developed by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), a UK trade organization that represents the interests of the UK retailers, in conjunction with the Institute of Packaging, the BRC/IoP Global Standard - Packaging and Other Packaging Materials was developed to assist retailers and manufacturers in meeting their legal obligations.
The standard provides a common basis for the certification of companies supplying packaging to manufacturers and retailers. The BRC/IoP Global Packaging Standard is particularly suitable for suppliers of packaging materials to food manufacturers who supply UK retailers. Its scope has recently been expanded to include medical, pharmaceutical and consumer goods packaging manufacturers.
The requirements of the standard include such things as Hazard and risk management system, a technical management system and factory standards. We believe that our accreditation to this standard puts Intercolor to the forefront of suppliers to the food packaging and labelling market. |
