Additional IFS requirements

We hereby accept that our company, and any of our subcontractors, will satisfy the following requirements in accordance with IFS Standard 6, 4.15 www.bosch-tiernahrung.de/service/service-level-agreement for all transport we carry out for bosch Tiernahrung GMBH & Co. KG 74272 Blaufelden-Wiesenbach:

Before loading, the condition of our transport vehicles is checked by our employees. In the event of abnormalities (foreign odours, dust, moisture, pests, mould), appropriate measures will be taken by our employees.

We have internal procedures and loading instructions that ensure that there is no unwanted contamination (impurities or mixing) of pet food with other goods on the transport vehicle. This is achieved, inter alia, by appropriate securing of the load.

There is a process according to which the cleaning and, if necessary, disinfection of our transport vehicles and the aids required for loading and unloading are carried out. The cleaning measures and any disinfection measures carried out are documented.

In the event that we have to temporarily store or transfer the pet food during our transport order, it is ensured that the loading and unloading ramps and storage rooms used have devices that protect the transported pet food against external influences.

Our transport vehicles comply with the applicable legal regulations, especially with regard to safety.

Handling problems
When using affiliates and subcontractors, it must be ensured that the customer's required standard can be guaranteed.
