BRC Approved

  • Wherever you see this logo on a biological recording app you can be assured that the data you submit will be: made available to experts for quality assurance; made available for conservation and research and preserved for long-term use.

  • This logo indicates that your data is:

    • Sent to the Biological Record Centre’s data warehouse linked to the iRecord system where it is accessible to you as the recorder, to an expert community of verifiers and other users of iRecord.

    • Quality assured data is passed onto Local Environmental Records Centres, National Recording Schemes and to the NBN Gateway.

  • Which app should I use?

    You might have noticed that several of BRC apps feature some of the same species? We have introduced the BRC Approved logo to signify that data from our apps all go to the same place. Therefore, you are free to choose which app you use to record a given species. All records will be sent to the same place, treated in the same way and will meet the established standards required by the Biological Record Centre.
