Frequently asked questions
Does a trading company really need certification?
More and more buyers require it: a trader that processes nothing remains responsible for the safety and legality of what it sells. Certification does not replace that of the suppliers; the buyer may ask for both.
BRCGS Agents & Brokers or IFS Broker?
Both assess control of a trading, agency or brokerage activity. The choice depends on your customers and their habits. The day shows what the two standards have in common and how scoring differs.
Is the course suitable for a trader in packaging or hygiene products?
Yes for IFS Broker, which also covers packaging and hygiene and household care products. For BRCGS Agents & Brokers, the scope should be checked with the certification body. The examples used during the day are adapted to your portfolio.
