Evaluation
Operators of custom Risk Management Programmes require the services of an MPI recognised RMP evaluator, to assess and endorse the RMP as it is written, to confirm it meets the requirements of the Animal Products Act 1999, The Animal Products Regulations 2021, and the Animal Products Notice: Production, Supply and Processing and other regulatory requriements as they may apply to the programme.
