The original company FCS was accredited in 1997 by the United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) to the European Standard EN45011 to provide product conformity certification in accordance with FCS’s quality manuals for Scottish Quality Farmed Salmon and Scottish Quality Smoked Salmon.
Today, FCS which has now been renamed as FCI has expanded its areas of competence to deal not only with the whole of the salmon farming chain, including organic production, from broodstock to finished fresh and smoked product but also to include other wild caught and farmed shellfish and finfish species as well as other food and environmental sectors.
