BRCGS audit — Section 4: Site standards
BRCGS internal audit — Section 4 "Site standards": external standards, building, utilities, site security and defence, layout and flow, equipment, maintenance, housekeeping and hygiene, contamination control (glass/brittle plastic, sharp and metal objects, chemical/biological), waste and pest control. Each clause (4.1 to 4.11) is rated Compliant / Non-compliant / N/A with a compliance score, flagging of non-conformities and per-chapter compliance. Wording reformulated by us and anchored to the BRCGS clause references — the standard's official text is not reproduced (to be obtained from BRCGS).

How this grid is built
Every control point is written in our own words, then tied to the standard's clause number. The normative text is never reproduced: the standard itself remains to be purchased from the body that publishes it. Grids are reviewed at every new edition of a standard.
