About ISO/TC 293

Standards are the international language of business. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) develops and publishes international standards with global expert input. The feed industry, as an important part of the food chain and responsible for producing safe, high-quality animal feed to support safe, animal-derived foods, also needs a common language to facilitate international trade and help ensure the manufacture and delivery of safe, reliable products. Initiated by industry experts in China, the Technical Committee ISO/TC 293, Feed Machinery, therefore, was established in 2014. The scope of this committee includes standardization of single feed machines, processing systems and complete production lines.

The participating (voting) members of the Technical Committee ISO/TC 293, Feed Machinery represent 14 countries: Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Iran, Republic of Korea, Pakistan, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. Observing members represent 14 countries: Argentina, the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mali, Malta, Peru, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and Uzbekistan.

The ISO/TC 293 currently is administered by the China National Technical Committee on Feed machinery and is developing standards in the areas of terminology, safety and the hygiene of feed machinery.

New standards proposed

The Technical Committee ISO/TC 293, Feed Machinery held its third plenary meeting of ISO/TC293 on 20-21 Oct. 2021 to discussed critical issues to enhance the feed machinery and feed manufacturing industries. The hybrid event, with the in-person meeting at FAMSUN Group, Yangzhou, China, was officially opened by Professor Fengcheng Wang, ISO/TC 293 Chairman. He welcomed over 30 delegates from the participating countries of China, Canada, Germany, Iran, Pakistan, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States, and its two connection organizations: ISO/TC34/SC10 Animal Feed Technical Committee and ISO/TC34/SC17 Food Safety Management System Technical Committee.

Professor Wang reviewed the work and the progress of ISO/TC 293 since the second plenary meeting, thanked the workgroups for their collaboration and contributions during the pandemic. Delegates discussed the proposed topic and scope of the international standard project of "Safety requirements for feed machinery", the work plan of the international standard project of "Cross-contamination control of feed production lines", and the 'Recommendations on drafting international standards of dust-explosion-proof for feed processing systems' that proposed by delegates from FAMSUN Group.

'We will encourage the world's most outstanding experts – as many of them as possible – to join us in the ISO/TC 293 and offer their opinions on behalf of their country's industry in the coming years,' said Pengfei Zhang, Chief of the Chinese delegation and Vice President of FAMSUN R&D Institute.

'The greater the international participation, the stronger the feed machinery standards will be, and the better they will contribute to the global food future,' he said.
