Introduction
The Global Food Safety Initiative has been active in providing transparency towards the standard owners in order to stimulate the process of mutual recognition between the BRC and the IFS.
Great improvements have been made regarding this project: Some leading German Retailers accept BRC reports and some leading UK retailers accept IFS reports. Still there are food producers that supply products to both countries that have to comply with two GFSI recognised standards instead of one.
In November 2004 International Supplier Auditing (ISA) produced a comparison document between IFS version 4 and BRC version 3 for the GFSI.
In January 2005 the BRC issued their 4th version of the BRC Global Standard – Food and in May 2005 the IFS produced a doctrine document that contains compulsory guidelines for certification bodies. In order to see if the standards moved closer towards each other, an update was requested.
