Certificate Description
GRMS – the customized standard for the red meat industry. The Global Red Meat Standard, GRMS, is a scheme specifically developed for the meat industry. Its cornerstone is product safety, focusing on critical areas affecting the maintenance of high meat safety requirements. GRMS version 6.0 is ISO/IEC 17065 accredited and independently audited. In contrast to other more generic food industry quality schemes, the GRMS has been tailored to the specific requirements that apply to the meat industry. The Standard comprises the entire productions chain and is, therefore, applicable to all aspects of transport, stunning, slaughtering, deboning, cutting and handling of meat and meat products. The Standard is available for implementation by all interested parties/meat producers within its scope. The Standard is free for download. However, a registration fee of 250 € will be levied by Certification Bodies for the release of audit reports and certificates.
