Participation
The prerequisite for the authorisation into the QS system is the registration for participation in the QS system as well as the proof of certification by a QS authorised certification body. Slaughterhouses and deboning companies register their business directly on the QS software platform; the initial registration is always carried out online under the "New registration" link. A certification body must be selected for the initial audit. Under the menu item "Certification bodies/laboratories", QS maintains a list of the authorised certification bodies.
