GMP+ Feed Safety Standards

“License to operate in the International Feeds Sector.” FEED SAFETY CHALLENGE Feed Safety and Quality are key issues for all companies handling feedstuffs and can have serious consequences when control is lost. A systematic approach is imperative for reducing risk and improving quality. Companies seeking to internationalize their business in Europe must be certified to a standard recognized by the GMP+ International (former PDV) organization. The GMP+ certification is also recognized by other feed certification schemes. Knowledge of GMP+ is spreading and the certificate is requested at a continuously greater extent throughout the world. The GMP+ regulations are in a process of continuous development and improvement and changes are relevant to all organizations in the international supply chain. WHAT ARE GMP+ STANDARDS BASED ON? The GMP+ standards have been developed to harmonize requirements for feed in order to ensure quality and safety throughout the entire feed chain. It is based on widely recognized principles of quality assurance, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). Choosing which standard (B1, B2, etc.) and certification scope (production of feed materials, trade, etc.) depends on the organization’s role in the feed chain. GMP+ B1 is mandatory for the production of compound feed, but can also be used for the production of feed materials and transport. B2 can be used for the production of feed materials and feed additives, while B3 is intended for trade and transshipment. Each of these standards is intended for different means of feed transport (e.g. B4.1 is intended for truck transport). All steps in the supply chain are thus covered by the given requirements. Advantages of GMP+ certification Companies benefit from GMP+ certification, because it: is focused on quality management (ISO 9001) and risk management (HACCP); provides access to supporting information and services, such as risk assessments, fact sheets, storing and sharing your monitoring data, newsletters, Early Warning messages etc); Offers new sales opportunities and to a great degree, ensures the retention of current customers; Guarantees the continuity of business operations, because the corporate structure is set up more efficiently and the costs and financial risks are limited; Helps improve the company image and the reliability; Makes your company part of a globally operating feed safety system (the GMP+ certificate is accepted internationally by about 12000 companies in 66 countries); Is accepted by other (inter)national schemes; Can easily be combined with multiple certifications (feed safety and sustainability); Contributes to uniformity in the feed chain.

GMP WHO Certification

We provide consultancy service for GMP WHO certification to our clients. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) is a standard defined by WHO (World Health Organization). GMP WHO certification ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization. W.H.O. defines Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as “that part of quality assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization”. GMP covers all aspects of the manufacturing process: defined manufacturing process; validated critical manufacturing steps; suitable premises, storage, transport; qualified and trained production and quality control personnel; adequate laboratory facilities; approved written procedures and instructions; records to show all steps of defined procedures taken; full traceability of a product through batch processing records and distribution records; and systems for recall and investigation of complaints. The guiding principle of GMP is that quality is built into a product, and not just tested into a finished product. Therefore, the assurance is that the product not only meets the final specifications, but that it has been made by the same procedures under the same conditions each and every time it is made. There are many ways this is controlled – controlling the quality of the facility and its systems, controlling the quality of the starting materials, controlling the quality of production at all stages, controlling the quality of the testing of the product, controlling the identity of materials by adequate labeling and segregation, controlling the quality of materials and product by adequate storage, etc. All of these controls must follow prescribed, formal, approved procedures, written as protocols, SOPs, or Master Formulae, describing all the tasks carried out in an entire manufacturing and control process. GMP covers all aspects of the manufacturing process including : Defined manufacturing process Validated critical manufacturing steps Suitable premises, storage, transport, qualified and trained production and quality control personnel Adequate laboratory facilities Approved written procedures and instructions Records to show all steps of defined procedures have been taken Full traceability of a product through batch records and distribution records Systems for recall and investigation of complaints
