Why choose feed certification services from sgs?
supporting the drive towards better quality, and increasing access to feed markets, we are accredited against iso/iec 17021-1 and iso/ts 22003 to deliver certification against the fami-qs and efisc schemes, and a certification body for gmp+ feed certification.
Fami-qs – the quality and safety system for specialty feed ingredients and their mixtures. Addressing the safety, quality and regulatory compliance of specialty feed ingredients and their mixtures, fami-qs was the first code aimed at this sector – and remains as its only certifiable code.
efisc – the european code of good practice for the industrial manufacturing of safe feed materials. This code aims to provide a harmonised, voluntary feed safety assurance scheme for the feed materials industry within the eu internal market. It guides manufacturers on how to establish and implement their own feed safety management system in accordance with eu and national legislation, including requirements for a management system, risk control, documentation, withdrawal and traceability.
Gmp+ – integrates iso quality management requirements, haccp and other elements. It defines conditions relating to feed production facilities, storage, transport, trading, etc. Gmp+ also defines clear conditions, so that feed safety and sustainability are guaranteed and certification bodies can conduct independent audits. A gmp+ certificate provides additional guarantee for all stakeholders in the international feed industry.
