How much does it cost to achieve BRC Certification?
The cost depends on how large your site is and the systems you already have in place. You may require capital expenditure to upgrade your existing site or external expertise to put documented procedures in place for example. BRC have no influence on the cost of the audit charged by Certification Bodies who usually include a cost for the audit time and report write up and travel and subsistence costs of the auditor. There is a £75 cost (from 1st January 2010 £125) that is included within your audit cost which goes directly to the BRC to build and maintain the BRC Global Standards. There will be a recurring cost for re-audit in order to keep the certification valid.
