Feed sector - Additive and premix production

If you want to participate in the QS scheme as a feed company owner, register in the QS database. There you also choose a certification body that will perform the audit at your company. After successful auditing, feed producers and traders sign a scheme agreement with QS. Service providers like warehouse keepers and transport companies are contractually integrated into the QS scheme via the certification body.

You can find out which certification bodies are approved in the QS scheme from this list.

When do I have to be certificated as a feed company?

If you want to deliver feed to a QS certified customer, you must be eligible to deliver the correspondent products into the QS scheme. This is possible either via a QS certification or via a certification according to a standard recognized by QS. Excluded from the certification obligation are only pure trade, storage, transhipment, and transport of packaged goods as well as pure agent activities.

Further information on the certification obligation in the QS scheme can be found in the Annex 9.3 to the Guideline Feed Sector.
