“Companies with the “GMP + FSA” certificate prove that they meet all requirements and conditions with regard to ensuring feed safety. FSA stands for “Feed Safety Assurance”.
With well over 18,000 GMP + FSA certified companies, it is the largest module within the GMP + certification system. GMP + FSA comprises standards for all links in the chain. Certified companies are audited by independent institutions approved by GMP + International, the so-called certification bodies.
Over the course of the years, the FSA module has become more and more professional. Among other things, ISO-9001, HACCP, limit values for feed safety, traceability, monitoring, a program with basic conditions, the chain approach and the Early Warning System (EWS) have been integrated into the “GMP + FSA” module. Thanks to this comprehensive approach, the “GMP + FSA” certificate functions in practice as a kind of sales authorization in more and more countries.
The Certificate
Although GMP + International intends FSA exclusively as a risk management tool, a certificate also helps companies increase sales and open up new markets. The chain approach is a stable, important basis for safe feed: it ensures to a large extent that all links in the chain guarantee quality assurance for feed and services in a uniform and transparent manner. However, due to the independent certification, the customer also assumes his own responsibility.
The unique chain approach of GMP + International combines the best of both worlds: individual and joint responsibility. If every link in the chain is committed to feed safety, we will work together to ensure a safe market. The chain approach also offers companies the opportunity to expand their business to new regions. ” (Source: https://www.gmpplus.org/de/feed-certification-scheme/gmp-fsa-certification/; as of November 20, 2020).
