Position Statements

BRCGS Position Statements

During the lifetime of a published standard, the BRCGS Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) may be asked to review the wording of a clause or provide an interpretation of a requirement or a detail of the protocol. The decision made by the TAC is known as a position statement.

Position statements are binding and are considered to be an extension of the Standard. Companies need to be aware of any statements relating to a Standard and, where necessary, ensure that the information is transferred into action.

Position statements are published here and on Participate. You can find out when a new statement has been published by signing up to the BRCGS newsletter.
