HomeThe 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 an non-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.
