ensuring that quality management processes are established, approved, implemented and maintained;
reporting to senior management of the manufacturer on the performance of the quality management and any need for improvement;
ensuring the promotion of awareness of customer needs and legal requirements throughout the manufacturer’s organisation, and for making the personnel aware of the relevance and importance of the quality management requirements to meet the legal requirements of this Regulation;
ensuring that each person whose duties affect the product quality is sufficiently trained and instructed; and
ensuring the classification of the quality management documents mentioned under point 5.1.4;
conduct an internal audit every year, or sooner than scheduled if triggered by any significant change that may affect the quality of the EU fertilising product; and
ensure that appropriate communication processes are established within and outside the organisation and that communication take place regarding the effectiveness of the quality management.
The following information shall be recorded for each batch of input materials:
date of delivery;
amount by weight (or estimation based on the volume and density);
identity of the input material supplier;
input material type;
identification of each batch and delivery location on site. A unique identification code shall be assigned throughout the production process for quality management purposes; and
in case of refusal, the reasons for the rejection of the batch and where it was sent.
Qualified staff shall carry out a visual inspection of each consignment of input materials and verify compatibility with the specifications of input materials laid down in CMC 3 and CMC 5 in Annex II.
The manufacturer shall refuse any consignment of any given input material where visual inspection raises any suspicion of:
the presence of hazardous or damageable substances for the composting or digestion process or for the quality of the final EU fertilising product, or
incompatibility with the specifications laid down in CMC 3 and CMC 5 in Annex II, in particular by presence of plastics leading to exceedence of the limit value for macroscopic impurities.
The staff shall be trained on:
potential hazardous properties that may be associated with input materials, and
features that allow hazardous properties and the presence of plastics to be recognised.
Samples shall be taken on output materials, to verify that they comply with the component material specifications for compost and digestate laid down in CMC 3 and CMC 5 in Annex II, and that the properties of the output material do not jeopardise the EU fertilising product’s compliance with the relevant requirements in Annex I.
The output material samples shall be taken on a regular basis with at least the following frequency:
Annual input(tonnes) | Samples / year |
---|---|
≤ 3 000 | 1 |
3 001 – 10 000 | 2 |
10 001 – 20 000 | 3 |
20 001 – 40 000 | 4 |
40 001 – 60 000 | 5 |
60 001 – 80 000 | 6 |
80 001 – 100 000 | 7 |
100 001 – 120 000 | 8 |
120 001 – 140 000 | 9 |
140 001 – 160 000 | 10 |
160 001 – 180 000 | 11 |
> 180 000 | 12 |
If any tested output material sample fails one or more of the applicable limits specified in the relevant sections of Annexes I and II, the person responsible for quality management referred to in point 5.1.1.1(b) shall:
clearly identify the non-conforming output materials and their storage place,
analyse the reasons of the non-conformity and take any necessary action to avoid its repetition,
record in the quality records referred to in point 5.1.4 if reprocessing takes place, or if the output material is eliminated.
