Why GMP+ Certification?

What Is GMP+?

GMP+ stands for Good Manufacturing Practice plus, an internationally recognised certification scheme focused on feed safety throughout the supply chain. It combines legal requirements with additional industry standards such as HACCP, traceability, monitoring, conditions for suppliers and buyers, and procedures for recalls.

For laboratories, GMP+ certification confirms that their analyses, procedures and documentation meet strict criteria designed to ensure the reliability, consistency and safety of test results within the feed supply chain.

Why GMP+ Matters for TLR

TLR International Laboratories specialises in chemical, microbiological, DNA and contaminant testing for feed-related products. GMP+ certification is directly relevant to these activities for the following reasons:

• Supply Chain Assurance
  TLR's analyses are used as the basis for release, certification or reporting within the feed chain. GMP+ certification demonstrates that these analyses are conducted within a structured system of quality and feed safety.
• Global Chain Responsibility
  TLR serves producers, traders and distributors who are GMP+ certified. Without its own certification, the validity of TLR's laboratory data within these chains could be questioned.
• Control of Critical Parameters
  GMP+ requires that test methods are validated and carried out according to international standards, with proper sampling, traceability and quality assurance. TLR demonstrably meets these requirements.
• Market Access
  Many stakeholders demand GMP+ compliant test reports from their suppliers. Thanks to TLR's certification, clients can rely on results that are widely accepted throughout the GMP+ system.

In Summary

GMP+ certification for TLR International Laboratories is more than a formal quality label. It is a key part of the company's credibility within the feed chain and provides assurance to partners that all analyses are performed reliably, traceably and in full compliance with the standard. Together with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and the Certus Logic Protocol, GMP+ supports TLR's position as a trusted expert in feed safety.
