Frequently Asked Questions - BRC Certification Consultant in Quebec City

What is BRCGS certification and who requires it?
BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards), formerly BRC, is a leading GFSI-benchmarked certification required by UK retailers (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer) and increasingly by EU, US, and Canadian retailers and food service companies for their suppliers.
What are the BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety categories?
The BRCGS Food Standard covers food manufacturers. There are also BRCGS standards for Storage & Distribution, Packaging, Consumer Products, Agents & Brokers, and Retail. We specialize in the Food standard (most common for manufacturers).
What grade can my facility achieve on a BRC audit?
BRCGS audits result in grades: AA (highest), A, B, C, D, or ungraded. Achieving an AA or A grade demonstrates exceptional food safety performance and is increasingly demanded by top retailers. We target A or AA for our clients.
Does Iyarkai help with both announced and unannounced BRCGS audits?
Yes. We prepare clients for both announced and unannounced BRCGS audit programs. For unannounced audits, we implement ongoing compliance monitoring and instant-access documentation so your team is always ready.

BRCGS (BRC) Certification Support in Quebec City: What Makes It Different

BRCGS certification in Quebec City usually serves manufacturers exporting to Europe — a natural trade lane for the province, reinforced by the Canada-EU trade relationship and Quebec's cultural-commercial ties to France — and suppliers to brand owners who specify the standard. The distinctive local dimension is linguistic: BRCGS audits can be conducted in French, and a French-first documentation system is fully auditable, which lets Quebec City plants build the system in the language their floor actually works in.

Can our BRCGS documentation and audit be entirely in French?

Yes — certification bodies field French-speaking auditors in Quebec, and BRCGS accepts documentation in the site's working language. What matters is internal consistency: procedures, records, and training in the language staff use, with controlled translations only where customers contractually require English copies. We build French-first systems with English customer-facing summaries, keeping one authoritative version.

Does BRCGS certification simplify selling into France and the EU?

Commercially, considerably — BRCGS is the certificate European retail buyers and import groups know best, and many French and EU supplier agreements name it explicitly. It doesn't replace regulatory export requirements, which run through CFIA certification for relevant commodities, but it frequently decides which compliant supplier wins the contract. For Quebec City exporters, it pairs naturally with the province's Europe-facing trade.

What to Expect from Our BRCGS (BRC) Certification Support

A GFSI-recognized standard widely accepted by UK and European retailers, with growing adoption by North American manufacturers exporting globally.
