Risk Assessments

GMP+ International has a Product List of feed materials that are accepted for use in feed. A generic risk assessment is available for each accepted feed material. These have been developed in collaboration with the certified companies. If you want to produce a feed material or bring it into the GMP+ chain that is not (yet) on this list, you must first follow a number of steps.

1. First check whether the product is a feed material by using the decision tree. See the "Decision Tree Feed Materials ".
   
   
2. If the product is a feed material, check whether it is included in the Product List with a risk assessment. The risk assessments can be found on the ‘GMP+ Portal’.
   
   
3. Is the product you want to produce or bring into the GMP+ chain a feed material, but not yet included in the Product List with a risk assessment? Then submit an application.
   
   An application for inclusion can be made by an (upcoming) GMP+ certified company, but also others such as trade associations or consultancy firms. To apply, please fill in this template in English and send it to riskassessment@gmpplus.org.
   
   Note: More information about submitting a risk assessment can be found in the question and answer list GMP+ D3.17 FAQ Feed Support Products.  

4. The acceptance procedure is as follows:
   1. Submitting a risk assessment to riskassessment@gmpplus.org.           
   2. First screening by GMP+ International
   3. Second screening by the Technical Committee FSP
   4. After approval, feed material is included in the Product List and publication Risk Assessment

Submitting a risk assessment before the deadline is required. GMP+ International screens the application and, if necessary, requests additional information from the applicant. Only when the submitted document is complete and confirmed by GMP+ International will the risk assessment be included on the agenda of the next meeting of external experts (TCFSP meeting).

Explanation of the steps can be found here.
