Governance
BRCGS is operated by a Board and a Management Team. The organisation receives strategic and technical input from an International Advisory Board (IAB), represented by international retailers, food service companies and manufacturers. There are three Regional IABs based in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. Technical input into the portfolio of BRCGS' Global Standards are managed through Technical Advisory Committees, consisting of industry representatives. These committees provide guidance on technical policy, application and development of the Standards, and industry feedback.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
The Global Standards and associated schemes are managed by the BRCGS Technical Team and governed through a number of technical committees, each of which works to a set of defined terms of reference. These committees provide a forum for input from various bodies and individuals with an interest in product safety, for example manufacturing trade associations, retailers and food service companies, regulatory bodies, accreditation bodies, certification bodies, and sector experts.
