Intertek organizes ISO 22000 and BRC seminars in Bangladesh

11 Aug 2009

Intertek, a leading global provider of management systems auditing and certification, organized briefing sessions in Dhaka and Khulna this week to raise awareness on the benefits of the ISO 22000 and BRC food safety standards. The session was conducted for multinationals, local companies, and educational institutes to help them enhance the skill and competence level of their staff.

The increased demand for safe food, as a result of globalization and international trade, has made food safety management more important than ever before. Several food safety standards have been developed to address this critical issue on a global scale. The ISO 22000:2005 standard defines food safety management systems requirements for all organizations that produce, manufacture, handle, or supply food or feed. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard for Food Safety is an internationally recognized standard for food manufacturers and purveyors aimed at assisting them in producing safe, legal and quality products.

As one of the world’s largest certification bodies, Intertek’s expertise has brought confidence and assurance to thousands of organizations. The company’s unique "one stop shop" of management system auditing, supplier auditing, and product certification help its clients demonstrate a true commitment to food safety.
