Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards Implementation and Laboratory ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Accreditation

项目摘要/摘要 宾夕法尼亚州农业部、植物工业局促进饲料和食品 通过合规教育、执行规章制度、调查 与饲料有关的投诉、动物饲料的例行抽样和饲料的例行检查 设施。 根据农业部植物工业局的AFRPS实施建议和 食品安全局实验室事业部提出的ISO认证计划，饲料计划需要 合作协议包括： 1.开发一种方法来评估Feed计划的法律权威，以确保 保护人和动物的健康。 2.制定饲料检查员培训课程，以支持AFRPS的要求 以及我们基于风险的检查计划的需求，以确保知识、技能和 饲料检验人员的能力。 3.建立系统，以确定基于风险的检查工作计划和适当的 检查和调查方案。 4.建立一种方法来评估我们在两个领域的饲料检验培训能力 和办公程序，以验证我们培训课程的有效性。 5.设计一种与其他机构沟通的方式和传播方式 在与饲料有关的紧急情况和跨部门活动期间提供信息。 6.制定书面政策和程序，概述我们Feed计划的执行情况 战略。 7.创建并启动全州范围内关于提要主题的教育推广活动，其中包括 培训活动和监管机构、产业界、学术界和 消费者。 8.创建一种方法来评估执行日常饲料工作所需的资源 以确保Feed计划获得足够的支持，以实现 工作计划。 9.标准化样品采集程序，以确保与饲料保持一致 计划的优先事项。 10.确保实验室程序与美国协会保持一致 饲料控制官员(AAFCO)质量保证/质量控制指南和会议 国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2005中的管理和技术要求 有效和可辩护的实验室检测数据，以保护人和动物的健康。 11.设计审查制度，确保对每个人的饲料计划进行定期评估 标准，以便实施必要的改进。 饲料计划和实验室计划的实施和持续改进 通过AFRPS的程序将帮助宾夕法尼亚州和食品和药物管理局 美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)更好地指导防止饲料制造的监管活动 美国的合规问题和不断增加的食品安全。

Project Summary/Abstract The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry promotes feed and food safety through compliance education, enforcement of rules and regulations, investigation of feed-related complaints, routine sampling of animal feeds and routine inspection of feed facilities. Based on the Department’s Bureau of Plant Industry’s AFRPS Implementation proposal and the Bureau of Food Safety, Lab Division’s proposed ISO accreditation plan, the feed program needs for the cooperative agreement include: 1. Develop a means to evaluate the Feed Program’s legal authority to ensure the protection of the health of man and animals. 2. Craft a feed inspector training course curriculum, supporting the AFRPS requirements and the needs of our risk-based inspection program to ensure the knowledge, skills and abilities of feed inspection staff. 3. Construct a system to determine a risk-based inspection workplan and adequate inspection and investigation protocol. 4. Establish a means to evaluate our feed inspection training competencies, for both field and office procedures, to verify the effectiveness of our training curriculum. 5. Design a means to communicate with other agencies and a way to disseminate information in times of feed-related emergencies and cross-sector events. 6. Develop written policies and procedures that outline our Feed Program’s enforcement strategies. 7. Create and launch statewide educational outreach about feed topics which incorporates training activities and open communication between regulators, industry, academia and the consumer. 8. Create a means to evaluate the necessary resources to perform routine feed work in order to assure the Feed Program has adequate support to meet the goals of the workplan. 9. Standardize procedures for sample collection to ensure alignment with the Feed Program’s priorities. 10. Ensure the alignment of the laboratory procedures with the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Quality Assurance/Quality Control guidelines and meet the managerial and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 in order to guarantee valid and defensible laboratory testing data to protect the health of man and animals. 11. Design a review system to ensure periodic assessment of the feed program per each Standard in order to implement necessary improvement. The implementation and continuous improvement of the feed program and laboratory plans and procedures through the AFRPS will assist both Pennsylvania and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to better direct regulatory activities toward preventing feed manufacturing compliance issues and increasing food safety in the United States.
