BRC Logistics Certificate: Obtaining Process

The BRC Logistics Certificate process runs as follows.

1. Pre-review (On Request)

Our certification body's auditors run a pre-audit to assess whether any elements of the safety standard have already been implemented in your organization, and if so, which.

2. Document Review

The audit team decides how well your management-system certification conforms to our rules.

3. Certification Audit

You demonstrate how your management system works in practice. Our auditors test the quality of that implementation.

4. Issuance

If your organization meets all the criteria, you earn the certificate showing that your conformity and risk-management system aligns with IFS or IFS Logistics standards.

5. Surveillance

Our annual surveillance audits help you advance your processes continuously.

6. Recertification

Certificate renewal runs through full audits every three years. This keeps your company advancing continuously and documents your long-term commitment to product safety to customers and partners.
