“Studies that assess residues, environmental behavior, metabolism, stability, and physicochemical properties of a product are particularly relevant for approval. These studies form the basis for regulatory evaluations and authorization procedures.”
“Companies can better ensure compliance by integrating studies and analyses early into development, formulation, and approval processes. This is especially important, as robust data on safety, behavior, and product characteristics are required for regulatory assessments and authorization procedures.”
“Agrosciences analyses provide insights into how active substances behave in plants, animals, soil, water, and other matrices. This enables systematic assessment of potential risks and supports a more informed evaluation of residue levels, degradation behavior, and environmental impact.”
“It is particularly advisable when dealing with new products, specific formulations, research projects, or special regulatory requirements. In such cases, standard methods are often insufficient, making it necessary to develop, adapt, or validate customized methods in a regulatory-compliant manner.”
“BRC certification is particularly relevant for manufacturers as well as processing and packaging companies that produce food for English-speaking markets such as the UK, Asia, or the USA. This includes companies in areas such as processed foods, raw materials and ingredients, primary products, packing of fruit and vegetables, as well as pet food.”
“The BRC Global Standard establishes a unified assessment and quality system for food safety throughout the supply chain. Successful certification can help companies meet the requirements of trading partners in a transparent and traceable way, strengthen trust in processes and products, and reduce operational risks in a targeted manner.”
“Before BRC certification, companies should have an effective quality management system with proper documentation in place. Equally important are clearly defined HACCP-based processes, regular internal controls, a functioning traceability system, established hygiene standards, as well as robust procedures for supplier management, allergen management, and corrective actions.”
