BRC/IoP (British Retail Consortium / Institute of Packaging) is the only industry standard dedicated entrepreneurs operating in the packaging industry, primarily intended for contact with food. The requirements of the BRC /IoP guarantee the safety of packaging and fulfillment of all legal and hygienic requirements. The article presents the main features of the standard, the basic requirements contained in the document and the results of research on the implementation of quality management systems, including standard BRC/IoP and the actions that are required checklists. It is noticeable that there is little interest in certification BRC/IoP, due to low awareness of the standard, despite the fulfillment of some of the basic requirements of the surveyed companies.
