by Contact on 8 October 2026

Requirement

Indicator applicability: every UoC using compound feed The UoC shall demonstrate that feed products, subject to conformance with Indicator 2.12.1, are accompanied by the following information: a. the originating feed mill holds valid certification against the ASC Feed Standard with the appropriate scope of certification in relation to the ASC Production Model (i.e. Mass Balance Production Model or Segregation Production Model product); and b. feed is traceable as ASC-conforming throughout all steps between the feed mill and site; and c. documentation accompanying the feed identifies the feed as ASC-conforming; and d. documentation accompanying the feed identifies the production model applied (i.e. Mass Balance Production Model or Segregation Production Model); and e. for ASC-conforming Segregation Production Model feed, the product is identifiable by a distinct feed name in formal documentation accompanying the product and is listed on the schedule to the feed mill certificate.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • Indicator 2.12.1 requires the UoC to only use ASC-conforming compound feed.

  • Use of non-conforming feed will be treated as a non-conformity against Indicator 2.12.1.

  • For product which is sold under the segregation model, identifying the feed production model and distinct feed name is required by the ASC Feed Standard, Indicator 3.3.2.

Evidence of Implementation

  • Process to confirm the originating feed mill holds valid certification against the ASC Feed Standard.

  • Records:

    • traceability system and its verification, for example:

      • use of a digital traceability system

      • outcome of any input-output exercises and traceability tests.

      • accompanying documents incorporating information required by 1.4.3(c), (d) and (e).

Auditors Should Confirm

  • Process to confirm the originating feed mill holds valid certification against the ASC Feed Standard.

  • Effective traceability and segregation systems are in place.

  • Outcome of any input-output exercises and traceability tests.
