QS – Qualität und Sicherheit

Why get QS certified as a business?

• QS-Production as well as QS-GAP (incl. FIAS and Regionalfenster)
• QS-Coordinators
• QS-Wholesale, Agency, and Logistics
• QS-Preparation/Processing
• QS-CoC (GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody v6.1 through QS)

QS certification promotes trade through mutual recognition of standards and inspections. In order to avoid double certification, QS wholesalers and QS agencies have also the option of obtaining a Chain of Custody certificate. For this purpose, the CoC add-on checklist, consisting of five specific CoC requirements, is carried out as part of the regular QS audit. The CoC by QS certificate has the same validity as an independent CoC certificate and can also be viewed in the GLOBALG.A.P. database.

The QS system provides a 3-level inspection system:

1. Self-assessment in accordance with QS requirements
2. Independent inspection by CUC Germany GmbH and analyses by QS recognized laboratories
3. Random sample audits by CUC Germany GmbH on behalf of QS
