The FAMI-QS Code of Practice provides requirements for implementing measures necessary to ensure feed safety and quality of products manufactured by processes, as defined by FAMI-QS. The Code covers requirements on Good Manufacturing Practices, on the HACCP programme and suggestions on continuous improvements to the design, management of operations and risks with a goal of maintaining feed safety and quality.

A set of Process Documents are provided as add-ons to the FAMI-QS Code. These are auditable documents, established in line with Codex Alimentarius (including HACCP programme) principles, for each one of the processes described in the Scope.

Running side by side with the FAMI-QS Code of Practice, a parallel and independent certification system described in the Rules for Operators and Rules for Certification Bodies has been developed by FAMI-QS.

To apply for the FAMI-QS Certification, the applicant has to fill in the application form and submit it to the FAMI-QS Secretariat for evaluation.

Participant members in the Scheme are required to pay an annual membership fee. The membership fee is calculated based on how many sites your organisation has and is raised within the first semester of each year.
