1 Introduction 1.1
General
The GMP+ Feed Certification scheme was initiated and developed in 1992 by the Dutch feed industry in response to various more or less serious incidents involving contamination in feed materials. Although it started as a national scheme, it has developed to become an international scheme that is managed by GMP+ International in collaboration with various international stakeholders. Even though the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme originated from a feed safety perspective, in 2013 the first feed responsibility standard has been published. For this purpose, two modules are created: GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance (focussed on feed safety) and GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance (focussed on responsible feed). GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance is a complete module with standards for the assurance of feed safety in all the links of the feed chain. Demonstrable assurance of feed safety is a 'license to sell’ in many countries and markets and participation in the GMP+ FSA module can facilitate this excellently. Based on needs in practice, multiple components have been integrated into the GMP+ FSA standards, such as requirements for a feed safety management system, for application of HAC principles, to traceability, monitoring, prerequisites programmes, chain approach and the Early Warning System. With the development of the GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance module, GMP+ International is responding to requests from GMP+ participants. The animal feed sector is confronted with requests to operate more responsible. This includes, for example, the sourcing of soy and fishmeal which are produced and traded with respect for humans, animals and the environment. In order to demonstrate responsible production and trade, a company can get certified for the GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance. GMP+ International facilitates via independent certification the demands from the market. Together with the GMP+ partners, GMP+ International transparently lays down clear requirements in the Feed Certification scheme. Certification bodies are able to carry out GMP+ certification independently. GMP+ International s the GMP+ participants with useful and practical information by way of a number of guidance documents, databases, newsletters, Q&A lists and seminars. 1.2
Structure of the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme
The documents within the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme are subdivided into a number of series. The next page shows a schematic representation of the content of the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme:

PART A: PRODUCT STANDARDS Introduction to the product standards There are references in the various GMP+ standards to the product standards. This part of this appendix contains the legal and a number of additional GMP+ product standards with respect to contaminants. The product standards included in this appendix are: a. the product standards as laid down in the European Union feed legislation, or b. a number of product standards, as determined within the framework of the GMP+ FSA scheme in consultation with the subsequent links in the animal production chain. DISCLAIMER: The GMP+ International has adopted this list in order to inform interested parties with respect to the standards in the legislation (European Union and additional GMP+ standards). The list will be regularly updated. The GMP+ International is not liable for any errors in this list.
2 Conditions In arriving at the product standards a distinction has been made between action and rejection limits. The action limits for undesirable contaminants is appreciably lower than the rejection limit. Action limit: A feasible limit agreed in consultation with the sector, supplier or customer. Where the action limit is exceeded an investigation must be carried out into the source of the contamination and measures must be taken to remove or limit the source of the contamination. Rejection limit: A feasible limit agreed in consultation with the sector, supplier or customer. If the rejection limit is exceeded then the product is not suitable for use as a feed material or animal feed. In the various GMP+ standards it is stated that the participant must ensure that deviations (in the product or process) from the requirements in this standard are recorded and controlled in order to prevent unintentional use or delivery of the product. Product standards for mixes of feed materials (semi-manufactured product) which are marketed as such The product standards for the maximum level of undesirable substances is calculated proportionately from the product standard for the individual components. This calculation principle is also applied for the calculation of the product standard for pesticides for compound feeds (see section 4.2.4 question no.5).

Residue levels of pesticides in feeds
Introduction
A start was made in April 2005 in the EU on the revision of the community legislation with respect to the permitted maximum levels of residues of pesticides by way of Regulation (EG) No. 396/2005. This regulation includes the maximum residue levels (MRL) for simple products of vegetable and animal origin intended for human consumption and for feeds. In as much as the MRLs apply to feeds they are applicable to both feeds for food-producing animals and for non-food-producing animals. The layout of the standard is such that in many cases it is not possible immediately to indicate a standard for a certain combination of feed / pesticide. This chapter indicates: a. How the correct standard for a simple, untreated/unprocessed product can be out-of-date; b. How the correct standard for a derived product can be determined; c. How the correct standard for a compound feed can be determined; d. Which special requirements apply. 4.2
The establishment of and MRL
4.2.1 General The MRLs (maximum residue levels) are established for simple products. Many of these MRLs are to be found on “Pesticides Web”, a database which was created by the EC. (http://ec.europa.eu/sanco_pesticides/public/index.cfm?event=substance.selection &ch=1) This is almost always the untreated form of a product. This means that a number of calculations must be carried out both for the determination of the MRL in a derived product (for example, sunflower oil, maize gluten meal) and for the determination in compound products (compound feeds, supplementary feeds). The correct standard can be determined using the enclosed questionnaires. The basic principle of the questionnaires is that there is a known pesticide and that the associated residue standard must be found for a particular feed. The questionnaires have been drawn up so that you always are led to a result. The following questionnaires are available. a. Questionnaire for basic products. This questionnaire helps you determine the MRL for basic products. b. Questionnaire for by-products. This questionnaire helps you determine the MRL for auxiliary products. c. Questionnaire for compound feeds. This questionnaire helps you determine the MRL for compound feeds. It is of great importance to note here that Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005 only applies to products of vegetable or animal origin! If this is not the case then any standards in Directive 2002/32/EG still apply.

To make this chapter easier to read the questionnaire makes use of the definitions in the following table. Table 1: Definitions and questionnaires
Product group
Definition
Questionnaire
Basic product
Simple, unprocessed product of vegetable or animal origin (wheat,
4.2.2.
barley, linseed, sunflower seeds, soya bean, peas, shrimps) Auxiliary products
Simple, treated/processed or derived product, originating from an
4.2.3
basic product. (flour, semolina pellets, potato press fibres, soya flakes, linseed oil, peapod meal, fish meal) Compound feed
Compound product consisting of at least two components being basic
4.2.4.
products, by-products and/or feed additives. (complete feed, supplementary feed, petfood, grain mixes, premixes)
NOTE: These definitions have only been drawn up to improve the readability of Chapter 4 and have no value or legitimacy outside this chapter. The questionnaires help you to determine the standard. You are not always immediately led to a number or value. It could be that you are referred to another point in a table or to another table. It may also be possible that you have to carry out a few calculations. For a limited number of products (table 2) the MRL in Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005 may not (yet) apply for parts of these products are given the exclusive destination animal feed. For these products the MRLs for pesticides therefore still apply as specified in the Directive 2002/32/EG. Table 2: Product (groups) of which parts with the exclusive destination animal feed are not (yet) covered under Reg. 396/2005 Product (groups) Palm hearts

4.2.3 Questionnaire for by-products 1.
Is your by-product from a product / product group in table 2 and does it have the exclusive destination animal feed? Yes This new regulation does not yet apply to your basic product. Check if Directive 2002/32/EG contains a standard for your basic product / pesticide combination (end). No Go to question 2.
2.
Is your by-product included in Appendix I of Reg. 396/2005, either as a byproduct (column 2 in combination with 3, 4 or 5) or as a group of products (column 2) or in the form of the original product? Yes Go to question 3. No Your by-product is probably not a product of vegetable or animal origin. Check your product using the definitions in Table 1. Consult your supplier.
3.
Is your by-product from that part of the (derived) product or the product group for which the MRL applies (Reg. 396/2005, Appendix I, column 6)? Yes The standards in this regulation apply to your by-product. Go to question 4. No This new regulation does not yet apply to your by-product. Check if Directive 2002/32/EG contains a standard for your byproduct/pesticide combination (end). You have established that the standards from this regulation apply to your by-product. You then use the questionnaire for basic products (4.2.2.) question 3 and further, to determine the standard for your individually-specified by-product, the original product or the relevant product group. Now proceed with question 4 in this questionnaire.

NOTE: At the time of the first publication of this document Appendix VI was not yet completed 6.
Is the treatment / processing for this by-product based on the separation of a fat and water fraction? Yes Go to question 7. No The processing / treatment has no effect on the residue level, the standard which you have found is the final standard for this byproduct/pesticide combination. (end)
Your by-product has been created as a result of the separation of a fat-oil fraction and a fat-oil free fraction (pressing, extraction). In the rest of this questionnaire you determine if there is an accumulation of residues in the fat fraction or in the fat-free fraction 7.
Does the name of the pesticide in Pesticiden Web have the suffix (F)? Yes The pesticide is soluble in fat. Determine, using the fat percentage in the original product and in your by-product, the dilution or concentration factor see website MVO: http://www.mvo.nl/voedselveiligheid/codes/MVO-reportingrequirements-on-pesticides) and divide or multiply this by the standard found for the original product(group) in order to determine the final standard.(end) No Go to question 8.
8.
Search on International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSCs) for the pesticide in question and note the “Octanol/water partition coefficient” (log Pow) which you will find in the chapter “Physical properties”. The log Pow is a measure of the solubility in water or fat of the pesticide. Is the log Pow greater than 4? Yes The pesticide is soluble in fat. Determine, using the fat percentage in the original product and in your by-product, the dilution or concentration factor and divide or multiply this by the standard found for the original product(group) in order to determine the final standard(end) No Go to question 9.
9.
Is the log Pow between 3 and 4? Yes The pesticide is not specifically soluble in water or fat. There is no Dilution or concentration of the pesticide residue as a Result of the treatment to which the original product was subjected. The standard which you found in the Pesticides Web also applies to your byproduct. (end) No Go to question 10.

The log Pow is less than 3. The pesticide is soluble in water. Use the fat percentage in the original product and your by-product to determine the dilution or concentration factor and divide or multiply this by the standard you found for the original product or product group in order to determine the final standard.(end). Note: In this case, where there is a pesticide which is soluble in water, there is dilution of the fat fraction and concentration of the fatfree fraction!

4.2.4 Questionnaire for compound feeds 1.
Specify the individual components of your compound feed. In Reg. 396/2005, Appendix VI, has a concentration or dilution factor has been established for your compound feed, A certain fraction of your compound feed. A byproduct that is part of your compound feed? Yes Use this factor or factors to determine the final standard for this specific part of your compound feed and to determine the pesticide in question. Go to question 2 . No Go to question 2.
NOTE: At the time of the first publication of this document Appendix VI was not yet completed 2.
Does your compound feed contain basic products among other things? Yes For each of these components go through the questionnaire in par. 4.2.2. In order to determine the standards for these components. Go to question 3 No Go to question 3.
3.
Your compound feed contains (among other things) by-products. For each of these components go through the questionnaire in par. 4.2.3. In order to determine the standards for these components. Go to question 4.
4.
Have you determined a standard for all the components for which a standard has been set and have you taken of the factors laid down in question 1? Yes Go to question 5. No Go through this questionnaire again starting at question 1
5.
Now determine the MRL for the specific pesticide in the compound feed in the following way MRLx = {(NxC1 * C1) + (NxC2 * C2) …. + (NxCn * Cn)}/ ΣC1:Cn Where: MRLx : Is the maximum residue standard for pesticide X in the compound feed NxCn : The standard found for the component / group of components C (1 to n) Cn : The percentage in the compound feed for component / group of components C (1 to n) ΣC1:Cn: The sum of the percentages of components for which an MRL for pesticide X actually applies

Special requirements
In addition to the standards for undesirable substances which have a broad validity within the feed chain, some specific measures are announced with some regularity for precisely-defined products or product groups. These are often temporary measures as a result of very specific contamination. The following measures are currently in force. Decision 2008/352/EG of 29/04/08 adopting special requirements for guar flour originating or sent from India due to the risks of contamination of this product with pentachlorophenol and dioxins. Commission Regulation EU) No 258/2010 of 25 March 2010 imposing special conditions on the imports of guar gum originating in or consigned from India due to contamination risks by pentachlorophenol and dioxins, and repealing Decision 2008/352/EC.

PART B: RESIDUE STANDARDS
1
INTRODUCTION
In addition to compliance with the adopted standards in appendix 1, part A, the participant must also comply with the (residue) levels of additives and veterinary medical products. Please refer to the definition of feed safety as laid down in the list of definitions for the GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance scheme. The participant must ensure that a. the correct additives and veterinary medical products get into the right feed in the right dosage (GMP+ B1, section 6.7.1.2). b. (residues of) additives and veterinary medical products are not present or are under set maximum limits (the so-called residue standards) in feeds in which they should not be present (GMP+ B1, section 6.7.1.5). In order to be able to control the residue levels the participant should, among other things, measure carry-over in the installations (see GMP+ BA4) and establish production sequences. In chapter 2 of part B of this appendix there are further instructions for this. Chapter 3 of part B of this appendix states the maximum residue standards for coccidiostats, histomonostats and critical veterinary medical products. These standards apply to compound feeds, semi-manufactured products, feed materials and premixtures and are applicable to producers of these products.

2.2.1
Installation Carry-over level:
The installation’s own carry-over is the carry-over measured using an inspection procedure as laid down in GMP+BA4 Minimum Requirements for Sampling and Analysis. The frequency at which the carry-over must be measured is determined as follows: a. If the participant processes or transports (animal feed containing) feed additives for which a residue standard has been determined in the table in Chapter 3 or veterinary medical products then the degree of carry-over must be known for the lines on which these products are processed. b. If the participant has relevant 1 lines then he must measure carry-over at least once per two years. c. The minimum frequency for the measurement of carry-over may be lowered to once per four year on condition that: 1. the carry over measured is less than 10% and 2. as soon as the last measurement is over two years old, the participant must assume the degree of carry over of the line in question is 15%. The carry-over must be re-established in the event of major changes to the installation.
2.2.2. The coefficient The coefficient is intended to take of an extra carry-over in addition to the installation carry-over, as a consequence of the processing properties of the additive or veterinary medicine. A factor of 1 means that the product contains no processing properties other than those of a standard measurement substance. The actual carry-over of the product therefore corresponds to the installation carry-over. If the factor is greater than 1, this means that the product has anomalous processing properties, such that the actual carry-over will be higher than the installation carry-over. The coefficient is determined on the basis of a so-called relative wall adhesion factor using a method specially developed for this purpose. Refer to TNO report I-9631006 Carry-over of a number of critical substances in cattle feed and the relationship to their characteristic properties.

Relevant lines are lines on which (products with) feed additives for which a residue norm has been determined in the table in Chapter 3 or veterinary medical products and also products with a determined residue norm are produced and/or transported.

Coefficient 1 2 2,5 3
2.2.3. Carry-over and flush batches The actual carry-over of additives and carry-over or veterinary medical products must be calculated in order to establish the number of flushes. This carry-over can be calculated by multiplying the installation carry-over by the coefficient. This coefficient can be used to calculate how many flush batches are minimally required to remain under the established residue standards. A sample calculation follows. Example: Broiler feed with nicarbazine Company’s own carry-over in installation: Coefficient Maximum residue standard for broiler feed for the last five days:
: 80 ppm : 5% : "1" : 0.5 ppm
Calculation of actual carry-over = company’s own carry-over x coefficient = 0.05 (5%) x 1 = 0.05 Calculation: calculated level of nicarbazine - batch a broiler feed 80 ppm - batch a+1 follow-on feed 4 ppm (= 0.05 x 80) - batch a+2 follow-on feed 0.2 ppm (= 0.05 x 4) The second batch complies with the residue standard for broiler feed in the final fattening phase. Therefore a first flush batch must be produced with a non-critical feed.
2.2.4
Items for attention and other remarks
The supplementary instructions for use relate to the sequence of production operations in the installation. It is also necessary for the participant to establish company requirements and procedures in order to comply with the residue standards for: a. transport (sequence) and storage (sequence) b. intake of premixes, additives and veterinary medical products. The participant must check that the prescribed residue standards are not exceeded. If an infringement of these residue standards is detected, the instructions for use and procedures must be modified. The coefficients and the minimum carry-over levels calculated from them may be deviated from provided that the carry-over is measured using the relevant product itself.
Product Standards EN Version: 30-10-2014 08:37
93 / 109 © GMP+ International B.V.
2.3 Premix 2.3.1
General
The objective of these supplementary instructions is that compound feed producers must be able to use premixes from GMP+-certified manufacturers in producing compound feeds, without exceeding the maximum carry-over levels. Carry-over of critical additives and veterinary medicines also occurs in the preparation of premixes. In order to prevent GMP+-certified compound feed mixers from exceeding the standards for coccidiostats, histomonostats and critical veterinary medical products because of excessive levels in premixes, a general rule of thumb is that no more than 50% of the residue standard as stated for compound feed may be used up as a result of the premixes used. The maximum level in the premix must be derived from the dosage of the premix in the compound feed. Carry-over of coccidiostats, histomonostats and critical veterinary medical products may take place via direct and indirect contamination.
2.3.2
Direct contamination
Direct contamination is possible through use of a premix destined for an animal feed for which a maximum residual level has been established. The premix producer is to ensure through his GMP+ feed safety system that no more than 50% of the residue standard as stated for that compound feed is used up via the premix. For any flush batches required, the relevant coefficient as established for that product should be adopted.
2.3.3
Indirect contamination
In order to achieve extremely low residue standards in premixes, producers of premixes will have to first produce a number of batches for a non-critical use following the production of premixes with coccidiostats, histomonostats and critical veterinary medicines. A premix which is produced subsequent to one prepared with a coccidiostats or histomonostats (a so-called flush batch) may still contain such high levels of coccidiostats or histomonostats that this can cause problems for the compound feed producer. Compound feed manufacturers use these premixes mainly in animal feeds which are also used to flush an installation clean. In certain cases the level of critical additives is so high that, together with the company’s own carry-over levels, the residue standards in compound feeds are exceeded.
