Preparing for launch – Finishing #ProjectGMP+2020 “ The redesign of the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme was completed in 2020. The Standards & FSP department mainly focused on the conditions and requirements companies have to meet, as well as support products like guidelines and checklists. Not only were the normative standards revised, we also put much effort in improving certification rules, the auditor app and support products. By finalizing the changes to the scheme and additional services, we prepared it for launch come Spring 2021.”
Getting the checkmark – GMP+ FC scheme 2020 EA approved EvdB “ In 2020, the redesigned scheme, as well as the certification process by our Certification Bodies, was officially approved by the European co-operation for Accreditation (EA). This formal recognition means the scheme and the audit and certification methods used by our Certification Bodies are in compliance with international accepted standards (ISO 17021/ ISO TS22003) for certification of food and feed safety management system schemes.” The EA was appointed by the European Commission in Regulation to facilitate fair trade, ensure product and service quality and reduce technical barriers to trade.
