Basic requirements
Please provide the following certificates of analyses, based, on the methods defined in the mutual agreed specification:
- for each production site
- for each fruit country of origin
- for each harvest year
- for each contract
The responsible institutes must be accredited for analysis methods in accordance with ISO 17025. Depending on the
nature of the product, the most suitable method should be chosen.
For fruit puree (concentrate), fruit juice (concentrate), fruit cells, dried fruit and grated fruit, SGF membership obviates
the need to provide an analysis certificate for pesticide residues in accordance with Regulation (EC) 396/2005 and its
amending regulations.
For the following countries, only the stated institutes are authorized:
China:
- MÉRIEUX NUTRISCIENCES Labs (ex Silliker, ex Sino Analytica) in Qingdao (63, Shanghe Road) and Ningbo (299
Guanghua RD)

- AGRI Lab SGS Beograd Ltd; 21000 Novi Sad, Danila Kisa 20
- Victoria Group SP Laboratorija AD; 21220 Becej; Industrijska Zona bb

Please send the certificates of analysis always to the following email address
Team_Suppliermanagement@muellergroup.com. Only in the case of analysis « each batch » or « each BBD », you
should send these additionally to the relevant factories (contact date see below).

If the analyses are required by us « each batch » or « each BBD », this applies exclusively for deliveries to locations in
the UK. These must be available to us BEFORE the delivery to our site. For deliveries to other locations, « 1 each year
» applies.
