If you are a company that is planning to manufacture products for retailer own brand, or a big brand owner with multiple sites who are selling or planning to sell product via retailers, this section is relevant for you.

Why do retailers and Brand Owners need for their supplier base to have BRC certification? 
為什么零售商和品牌擁有者需要他們的供應(yīng)商通過BRC認(rèn)證？ 

Retailers and Brand Owners have a legal responsibility for their brands. If they are faced with a legal challenge from the authorities, they have to demonstrate a ‘due diligence’ defence. This means that they have to ensure that they have taken every possible precaution to prevent the problem. Certification of your manufacturing facility will give retailers and brand owners one of the main tools to help them with their legal obligations. The certification audit report will be one of the documents which an enforcement authority would require from the retailer or Brand owner to demonstrate that their supplier was competent to produce a safe and legal product . Retailers and Brand owners are under constant pressure from a high level of enforcement, and the strong need to preserve the integrity of their Brands. 
零售商和品牌擁有者對他們的品牌付有法律責(zé)任。面對政府的法律監(jiān)管，他們需要證明他們盡到了“應(yīng)有的注意”義務(wù)。這意味著他們需要確保已經(jīng)采取了所有可能的預(yù)防措施去阻止問題的產(chǎn)生。如果你的工廠通過了BRC認(rèn)證，這將給零售商和品牌擁有者一個重要的工具，這將幫助他們面對法律的責(zé)任。政府權(quán)利部門將要求零售商和品牌擁有者去證明他們的供應(yīng)商有能力生產(chǎn)合法和安全的產(chǎn)品，認(rèn)證審核報告就是證明文件之一。零售商和品牌擁有者在政府的持續(xù)高水平的壓力下，有強烈的要求去 

It is not just UK and Brand owners and retailers who are asking for their suppliers to be BRC certificated. Retailers in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, and some global retailers and brand owners are also asking for their suppliers to get BRC certification. 
并不僅僅是英國的品牌擁有者和零售商要求他們的供應(yīng)商通過BRC認(rèn)證，在挪威、瑞士、丹麥、西班牙、蘇格蘭和全球其他地方的零售商和品牌擁有者也正在要求他們的供應(yīng)商獲得BRC認(rèn)證。 

BRC certification is for product, and it is site specific, so if you are supplying your customer from more than one site, all the sites need separate BRC certification. 
BRC認(rèn)證是針對產(chǎn)品的，并且針對生產(chǎn)場所。所以如果你有多個生產(chǎn)場所給顧客供應(yīng)產(chǎn)品，就需要所有的場所都通過BRC認(rèn)證。 

If you are an agent or importer, you will not need to gain BRC certification, but the companies you represent who will be supplying your retail customers will need BRC certification.If you are an importer that stores and distributes products to your customers, then you may be asked to get BRC certification against BRC Global Standard - Storage and Distribution. 
如果你是一個代理商或者是進口商，則不需要通過BRC認(rèn)證。但是你所代表的供應(yīng)產(chǎn)品給你的客戶的公司，要通過BRC認(rèn)證。如果你是個進口商，存儲并批發(fā)你的產(chǎn)品給客戶，則你需要依照”BRC全球標(biāo)準(zhǔn)－存儲和批發(fā)”通過BRC認(rèn)證.
