Differences between BRC 5.4 - Authenticity and IFS 4.3 - Product Fraud
OUR FACTORY HAS BOTH THE BRC AND IFS SYSTEM, OR DO WE HAVE TO ASSESS FOR EACH STANDARD SEPARATELY

I think YES because BRC/IFS text responses are often probably too different/difficult to combine unless you can produce a (combined) Manual(s) which an Auditor can readily understand. (Although examples of some combined manuals do exist on this Forum, eg ISO9001/BRC). Some people here are certified to multiple GFSI Standards so should have some input on yr query.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE HAVE MADE AN IFS COUNTERFEIT RISK ASSESSMENT AND A LIMITATION PLAN, IT COUNTS WITH AUTHENTICITYDOES HE UNDERSTAND WRONG?Sorry, I am not familiar with IFS.ADDITIONALLY I HAVE A QUESTIONIN SECTION BRC 3.5 WHEN ASSESSING A RAW MATERIAL RISK, THE ISSUE OF REPLACEMENT AND FRAUD SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.COULD IT NOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THIS ASSESSMENT ONLY SEPARATELY AS A PRODUCT FRAUD?If you are referring to Fraud in 3.5.1.1 and Fraud in 5.4.2, you can answer the Fraud requirements in either Clause and use a cross-reference.
