The European
Regulation on Feed Hygiene (183/2005) sets up hygiene and safety
requirements for the whole feed chain ‑ this includes feed
additives and premixtures. This Regulation also promotes the establishment
of codes of practice in the feed chain.
Therefore
the feed additive industry has decided to establish a code of practice
covering feed additives and premixtures (as defined in Regulation
1831/2003/EC on additives for use in animal nutrition).
This code is the FAMI-QS Code of Practice
for Feed Additive and Premixture Operators, a public document from which
its content can be freely followed by any feed additive or premixture
operator.
Running side by side, a parallel and
independent certification system has been developed by FAMI-QS Asbl. Participation in the FAMI-QS auditable system is based on voluntary commitment.
The FAMI-QS
Code is certified by independent certification bodies,
and run by the FAMI‑QS Asbl association.
FAMI-QS Asbl
is the Feed Additive and Premixture Quality System European Association.
FAMI-QS is a
not for profit association (Asbl under the Belgian law), registered under
#865715003.
The purpose
of the Association is to manage and
co-ordinate all activities related to the EU Feed Additives and premixture
Quality System – FAMI-QS. The Association is therefore involved in the
following tasks:
- establish, register and maintain the
FAMI-QS system;
- rule the use of the code;
- set up adequate certification systems and
co-ordination.
