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 Additives and Premixtures
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 Premixtures
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.
