Background to Earned Recognition Sample Clauses

Background to Earned Recognition. Feed and food businesses are responsible for ensuring that the production and use of feed and food satisfies the requirements of the law. The FSA acknowledges that the application of official controls relating to feed and food safety should recognise those businesses that comply with legislative requirements whilst offering necessary safeguards against unacceptable risk to consumers, through the application of appropriate enforcement action to remedy deliberate, persistent or serious non-compliance. Earned recognition will be available to those businesses who are compliant members of an industry assurance scheme recognised by the FSA. Approved status can be obtained by the demonstration of the scheme’s compliance with FSA Criteria for Earned Recognition, (Annex A). This process examines four key areas: governance of the scheme, scheme standards, certification and monitoring / review processes. Where such a scheme is approved, compliant members of the scheme will benefit from a reduced frequency of inspection on the basis that they are taking positive action to reduce risks and comply with legislative requirements, verified through a third party certification process. The application of earned recognition recognises compliance and allows Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) to focus on less compliant businesses.

Background to Earned Recognition. Feed business operators (FeBOs) involved in the manufacture of those products referred to in section 2 above are responsible for ensuring their products satisfy the requirements of the law detailed in Annex B. The FSA, VMD and FSS acknowledge that the application of official controls relating to such manufacture should recognise those businesses that comply with legislative requirements whilst offering necessary safeguards against unacceptable risks to consumers, animal health and the environment, through the application of appropriate enforcement action to remedy deliberate, persistent or serious non-compliance. Earned recognition will be available to those FeBOs who are compliant members of an industry assurance scheme recognised by the FSA, VMD and FSS (see Annex A). Approved status can be awarded by the demonstration of the scheme’s compliance with the ‘Criteria for Earned Recognition’, as set out in Annex C. This process examines the governance of the scheme, checks that the scheme standards reflect legislative requirements for the sector under consideration, and the certification process is robust and impartial. Where a scheme is approved, compliant members of the scheme will benefit from a reduced frequency of official control on the basis that they are taking positive action to reduce feed safety risks and comply with legislative requirements, verified through a third party certification process. The application of Earned Recognition by the FSA, VMD and FSS is acknowledgment that compliant members of an approved scheme have a lower risk, allowing the enforcement authority to focus on less compliant businesses.
