QS certification obligation for meat and meat products logistics companies

Since 01.01.2024, logistics companies that transport meat and meat products as subcontractors for QS-approved companies in the slaughtering, cutting, processing and meat wholesale sectors are also obliged to provide proof of QS certification to their clients.

Due to the large number of logistics companies to be certified, QS, Qualität und Sicherheit GmbH in Bonn has set up a further transitional regulation until March 31, 2024. According to this, logistics companies to be certified must have signed a valid certification contract with an approved QS certification body and an audit date must have already been agreed before March 31, 2024. In this case, the client of the logistics company can list its contractor as an approved QS supplier. If the audit and certification do not take place until after 31.03.2024, the logistics company can only carry out meat and meat products for a QS-certified company if a valid QS certification is available.

Tentacontrol GmbH – a Tentamus company - offers these QS certifications in the area of logistics for meat and meat products as well as fruit, vegetables and potatoes at short notice. Combined audits can be carried out for logistics companies that transport goods from QS-certified clients in the areas of fruit, vegetables, potatoes and meat and meat products.
