Certification


KLING-MALZ is certified in the following areas.

DIN EN ISO 9001:2000
Setting up a QM system includes a consideration of all the functions and areas relevant to quality in the entire malting operation. In addition, DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 proposes a suitable framework that serves as the basis for the construction. If the DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 represents a System Certification rather than a Product Certification, this provides for a greater clarity of all channels of information relative to quality, along with better communication and information dispersal.



HACCP
The HACCP concept provides an important contribution to the security of foodstuffs. The Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) aims at identifying, evaluating and controlling significant threats to food products. Consequently, all threats that can, theoretically, surface, are reported first. Then, the possibility of their occurrence is investigated and their importance asessed. Following this step, Critical Control Points are established. These are steps in the process at which the ascertained threats can be avoided, removed or at least reduced to an acceptable level.



Kling Malz QS Certification
Quality and Safety (QS)
(Download data sheet for straight feedingstuffs)
As a retail feed manufacturer, KLING-MALZ is committed to the QS system. Examinations of the feed supply in accordance with the QS control plan are routinely carried out. Further information available at www.q-s.info.




GMP 07
The GMP Standard for road transport (GMP 07) regulates the order of loading and hygienic requirements for over-the-road transport. Details with regard to the last three payloads are to be noted on delivery notes. Cleaning instructions are to be carried out.


Food safety
The increasing desire for extended control analytics has been complied with. In accordance with the statutory requirements and the requirements of brewery customers, the following are routinely tested and documented:

Pesticide residues acc. to DFG S19
(Download residue list)
Heavy metals  (As, Hg, Pb, Cd, Se)
Mycotoxin content (ZEA, nivalenol, DON, H2T2, fumonisins B1+B2, aflatoxin B1, OTA, chytochlasin E)
PCB and dioxins

Risks which occur during the growth of the cereal (sewage sludge manuring, maize as a preceding crop, fusarium infestation) or during storage (fungal attack)are systematically tested and monitored. A monitoring system was established in March 2005 in cooperation with the renowned SGS Germany testing laboratory in Hamburg. The above risks are monitored and checked by means of the monitoring system. KLING-Malz has agreed to participate in the SGS system.
