FAMI-QS and GMP+ International move ahead with a memorandum of understanding

On the March 1, 2013, FAMI-QS and GMP+ International established a memorandum of understanding (MoU) following the rise in third party certification as a feature in the global feed chain.

The memorandum, based on the trust between FAMI-QS and GMP+, will aim to facilitate the world trade feed by eliminating technical barriers to trade, without jeopardising feed safety.
The agreement comprises of the production and trade of feed products. By working together, those certified are covered by both FAMI-QS and GMP+ International schemes. Both companies have also agreed to work together on topics like accreditation, harmonisation of schemes and promotion of feed safety assurance all around the world. As part of the memorandum, both organisations will also launch a global benchmark exercise.

It is expected that the agreement, based on ISO/IEC guide 68 ‘arrangements for the recognition and acceptance of conformity assessment results’ will increase confidence, trust, recognition and global acceptance.
