> Warehouse operators and third-party logistics providers storing or distributing food and consumer goods after manufacture use the BRCGS Storage and Distribution standard as their primary certification framework.

Warehouse operators and third-party logistics providers storing or distributing food and consumer goods after manufacture use the BRCGS Storage and Distribution standard as their primary certification framework. Issued by the British Retail Consortium Global Standards (BRCGS), it sets requirements for hygiene, temperature control, pest management, traceability, and documentation across warehouses and distribution centres. Major retailers and wholesalers regularly mandate the certification from supply chain partners, particularly in European and English-speaking markets. Where BRCGS Food Safety targets manufacturers, this standard governs post-production handling through to the end consumer.
