QS - Qualitätssicherung > Stufenübergreifend <

Trading

With the participation in the QS system, all of the companies participating in the production process stages of the food chain have declared the necessity for a cross-stage quality assurance for foodstuffs. An important element of the food chain is the animal feed industry and trade. As of 1st January 2008, companies that trade with animal feeds may be certified according to QS.

An overview of the requirements of the QS certification, the registration process and the recognition of other certificates can be found in compact form in the "Trading data sheet". The detailed requirements made of trade can be found in the Animal feed industry guideline.

A full overview of the requirements made of trade can be found in the working document for the Animal feed industry guideline.

Vehicle cleaning

A company that wishes to transport animal feed after a particular type of goods has been transported, must first subject the vehicle to a certain type of cleaning regime.

In 2007, the International Committee of Road Transport (ICRT) was founded. The aim of the ICRT is to divide freights into categories according to the potential risk to animal feed and to specify the cleaning regimes. All products categorised thus far will, in future, be accessed via a common database. This database is currently being constructed. Until such time, use the freight categories from the PDV database.

Here you will be forwarded directly to the "database of transportation categories"

Some freights are categorised differently within the framework of the various standards. This is partially for legal reasons. These are listed in an overview entitled "List of differences".

Please also remember that when transporting products with different categories, the vehicle should always be cleaned according to the strictest cleaning regime.
