A standards is a publication which states an agreed way of doing something. This ensures consistency and reliability in a product and provides a quality benchmark for anyone not involved in development. Standards are used in Engineering to ensure anything you make or design meets these requirements.
Standards often contain technical specifications and guidelines for manufacture. Many companies and countries have their own standard guidelines while ISO standards are agreed internationally.
We have access to several BRC standards available in print. If you have any difficulty accessing them please contact the library.
