Phytocontrol is pleased to announce that it has passed the German QS test
As a specialist in contaminant analysis, Phytocontrol is historically QS certified, a German quality standard covering all participants in the food production/distribution chain.
What is the QS standard?
QS is one of the most important inspection systems for foodstuffs. It is a comprehensive certification covering every stage of the supply chain, including farming, processing, packaging and marketing. It was established in 2001 for meat and meat products, and since 2004 it has been extended to fruit, vegetables and potatoes.
A new success
This inter-laboratory test was carried out on the bean matrix for pesticide analyses. It consists of detecting and quantifying several active ingredients in 48 hours “blind”. Our participation in the QS standard ensures a high level of quality, since the success criteria are among the strictest:
• All molecules must be identified
• No false positives are tolerated
Phytocontrol has been certified since 2014 by the QS standard providing overall quality assurance of the laboratory’s services based on approved and verifiable production standards.
The success of this German inter-laboratory test confirms once again our specific know-how and the reliability of our results and this, in the shortest possible time!
