Consumer products can make up 50 to 100 per cent of a retail store portfolio and the importance of standards and certification for consumer products is immeasurable. As consumer consciousness rises globally and supply chains become more complex, brand owners must focus on product integrity more than ever before.

The Consumer Products Standards offer a holistic, best in class global solution, rooted in risk mitigation and best practice. This is shown by the fact that the Consumer Products Certification is accepted and specified by more global brand owners and retailers than any other scheme.

Two standards have been written to incorporate the wide range of products that are in scope:

• Global Standard for Consumer Products – General Merchandise
• Global Standard for Consumer Products – Personal Care and Household
