The brief

The appointed laboratory will carry out the provision of services for the UK National Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives in the following areas: 1.

NRL Service: to maintain safety standards of feed additives by coordinating and supporting the network of official feed laboratories in the UK.

The NRL provides advice and support on methods of official control testing, ensuring the delivery of risk-based and food/feed enforcement to protect consumers.

2.

Feed additives regulated product authorisation: is an essential part of the agri-sector.

Feed additives may not be put on the market without pre-market authorisation.

From 1st January 2021, the Food Standards Agency will provide the function for feed additive authorisations, which will only be granted after a scientific evaluation demonstrating the efficacy of the additive and the absence of harmful effects to human and animal health, and to the environment and an evaluation of the method of analysis.

The successful contractor will be required to perform this complementary work for Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) by evaluating the analytical method for detection and quantification as proposed by the applicant for the authorisation of the feed additive.
