Variance request and Interpretation platform
We
have conducted the ASC Feed Audit for the client FEED ONE on 02 – 04 Aug 2023.
This was the first ASC Feed Audit in Viet Nam for BVCH.
The audit resulted in some Major NCs related to the Due Diligence assessment (Indicator 2.2.6, 3.2.1, 5.1.3) and competencies of individuals conducting Due Diligence (RUoC 4.1.1.1.).
We initially decided that we could extend the timeline to close the major NCR, using the requirement 21.5.2.2. (Major non-conformities may be extended once for a maximum period of six (6) months after the Detection Date.) from ASC-CAR-002_v1.0.1.
But after reading the requirement of the ASC-RUOC-002_v1.0.1, it seems that this is not possible.
A thorough and complete Due Diligence process is the cornerstone for demonstrating the eligibility status of feed ingredients which is ultimately used to manufacture ASC complaint feed.
The combined impact of these non-conformities indicates a significant failure to meet a fundamental element of the Feed Standard.
Feed CAR v1.0.1. / 21.5.1. The CAB shall classify an initial audit as a failed audit if major non-conformities are not closed within three (3) months from the Detection Date.Feed CAR v1.0.1. – 5.1.2. The CAB shall not accept the application if the applicant has failed an initial audit conducted by a different CAB and it has been less than 12 months since that previous CAB audit was categorised as failed.However, this does not prevent the mill having a re-audit with the same CAB.
