This quality system, based on the HACCP-principles, must provide a safety guarantee of feed materials regarding animal feed.

This standard can be applied by companies who:

• produce/process feed materials
• manufacture trade feed materials or other feeding stuff
• store and/or transship feed materials or other feeding stuffs

he standard is not intended for production of feed additives. By complying with this standard and when certified, one guarantees the quality and safety of feed materials that are used to produce animal feeds under GMP+ conditions.
