Contact Us TodayMontreal's historic trade orientation toward Europe makes BRCGS a natural fit here — the city's manufacturers export to and are owned by European groups more than almost anywhere else in Canada, and BRCGS Issue 9 is the certificate those relationships expect. Preparation at a Quebec site adds a documentation dimension: the system must work for a francophone workforce, meaning bilingual procedures and training records, while the audit itself can be conducted through certification bodies operating in French. We build BRCGS systems that satisfy the standard and the shop floor.
Yes — BRCGS requires documentation in a language your staff understand, so French procedures for a francophone Montreal workforce are not just permitted but expected, and several certification bodies audit Quebec sites in French. Where customers abroad request English copies, we maintain controlled bilingual versions so translations never drift out of sync with the master documents.
BRCGS Issue 9 requires compliance with applicable legislation, so your SFCR Preventive Control Plan and traceability requirements sit inside the BRCGS system rather than beside it. We structure one hazard analysis and one document set serving both — CFIA inspectors verify the PCP elements, the BRCGS auditor verifies the whole system, and neither finds contradictions.
A GFSI-recognized standard widely accepted by UK and European retailers, with growing adoption by North American manufacturers exporting globally.
