BRCGS Agents & Brokers certification support.
Practical support for food agents, brokers, importers, trading businesses and relevant brand owners using outsourced manufacture. Primor helps build supplier assurance and technical oversight, prepare for BRCGS Agents and Brokers certification and maintain control as the supply chain changes.
Know where responsibility sits.
The Agents and Brokers standard is intended for businesses trading or arranging the trade of products without manufacturing, processing or storing them at their own sites. Your activities determine the scope. Importing, contract manufacture and third-party storage still require clear responsibilities and access to reliable product and supplier information.
A focused gap analysis.
We review the agreed scope, suppliers and outsourced activities, product information, customer requirements and existing controls. The assessment identifies gaps and practical priorities around supplier approval, specifications, traceability, risk assessment, product legality, authenticity and recall arrangements.
Prepare the systems and evidence for audit.
Primor can help implement workable procedures, review supplier evidence, test traceability and recall, and prepare the team through internal checks or a mock audit. Corrective actions should address the underlying issue and remain effective as suppliers, products and markets change.
An ongoing technical function for your trading business.
Technical oversight continues between audits. We can manage agreed supplier and specification work, customer questionnaires, certification maintenance and technical priorities, giving your commercial team dependable support without building a full internal department.
Does a food brand using contract manufacture fit?
It may, depending on the activities it controls and whether it manufactures, processes or stores products itself. Do not select the standard from the business label alone. We discuss your operation, customer expectations and certification scope before recommending the route.
What if we also run a warehouse?
Storage at your own site can change the appropriate certification route. BRCGS Storage and Distribution may be relevant to that operation. Tell us what you buy, sell, handle and store so the support matches your actual business.
