What is GMP+GMP+ FSA (Feed Safety Assurance) is a certification scheme developed by GMP+ International (Netherlands). The standard covers the entire feed chain: from raw material production to the supply of finished feed to animals.
Certification confirms that a company:
- Controls feed safety at all stages of production
- Applies HACCP principles and a traceability system
- Complies with EU feed hygiene legislation
- Undergoes regular independent audits by an accredited certification body
Who Needs GMP+ CertificationThe standard covers companies operating in the feed chain:
- Compound feed and premix manufacturers — GMP+ B1, B2
- Feed ingredient producers — oil extraction plants, starch plants, molasses and meal producers
- Trade and storage — grain traders, elevators, warehouses
- Transport — carriers of feed products
- Feed additive manufacturers — vitamins, amino acids, minerals
Benefits of GMP+ CertificationAccess to EU Markets A GMP+ certificate is a practical requirement for supplying feed products to most European compound feed manufacturers. Without it, market access is closed.
Mutual Recognition GMP+ has mutual recognition agreements with leading schemes: EFISC-GTP, QS (Germany), OVOCOM (Belgium), AIC (United Kingdom), FAMI-QS and others. This means your clients certified under these schemes can purchase from you without additional audits.
Competitive Advantage GMP+ certification provides access to international feed manufacturer databases, product safety data and a shared risk assessment database.
Proof of Reliability For your clients, a GMP+ certificate is independent confirmation that your products are safe and meet international requirements.
How Certification Works
Stage 1 — Document Audit Review of the feed safety management system documentation for compliance with GMP+ requirements.
Stage 2 — On-site Audit Auditors verify the actual functioning of the system at the facility: production processes, laboratory control, traceability, supplier management.
Certificate Issuance Upon successful completion of both audit stages, a GMP+ certificate is issued. Annual surveillance audits are conducted to maintain certification.
