Abstract:
The aim of this study is to analyse the normative and legal framework in the context of quality assurance in the German bioeconomy sector. In the first part of the study the requirements for the implementation of quality assurance systems in companies and institutions of the cluster are described. The awareness of the importance of quality management helps to support favourable conditions for the production of biobased products with a sufficient quality already in an early stage of development. In the second part an overview of standards, certification and environmental labeling schemes, directives and regulations, laws and other trade requirements relevant to bioeconomy processes is given. These are classified according to the process steps they are relevant to as well as to their thematic relevance. The study indicates thematic aspects that are well established in certain guidelines as well as fields in which further specifications of guidelines can be expected. The study was conducted within the framework of the joint project “Excellence cluster BioEconomy” and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
