BRCGS Agents and Broker Issue 3: Sites Training

Agents and brokers play an essential role in the movement and trade of products, providing a critical link in their chain of custody. They can influence their suppliers’ product safety and quality standards and are responsible for maintaining an effective chain of traceability. 

The third issue of the Global Standard for Agents and Brokers has been developed to specify the safety, quality and operational criteria required to fulfil legal obligations and to protect the consumer or end user of a product. 

The Standard sets out the requirements for companies in the food, packaging and consumer products supply chain that buy, sell or facilitate the trade of products. These companies may provide additional services such as the purchase, importation or distribution of the products, but do not manufacture or process those products.

This course is designed for agents and/or brokers, and those trading with them, to understand the scope and requirements of the standard, the audit protocol and certification process. The course is led by an experienced trainer, who will guide you through practical exercises to consolidate your learning.
