16. How long do I need to wait from the time we implement BRC and we have our initial certification
audit?
A. Implementing a management system takes more than just writing policies and procedures.
You will need to take steps to ensure your system is fully implemented, your staff is trained
and fully aware of the requirements and expectations and you have sufficient records as
evidence to prove your system is in place. It is generally accepted that three (3) months of
implementation will generate sufficient records to support implementation and allow for at
least a partial Management Review and Internal Audit.
17. Does Ecolab offer training on any other GFSI-recognized programs?
A. Yes. Ecolab offers training on SQF, the BRC Food Standard (issue 6) and the FSSC 22000

(HACCP, SQF, BRC, etc.) in other countries?
A. No. Ecolab does not currently offer SQF, FSSC or BRC training in other countries. Check
with the standard owners to see if there are recognized/licensed providers in other
countries.
19. Does Ecolab offer training (HACCP, SQF, BRC or FSSC) in languages other than English?
A. Yes. Ecolab currently offers HACCP, SQF and BRC Food training in Spanish. We are

branching out into other languages. Please contact foodsafety@ecolab.com for a proposal

21. Once I take a class, does Ecolab provide further support?
