Abstract(s)

The planned certification of food database FCDB Compiler organizations is a key part of the overall quality framework that was developed in EuroFIR NoE and further extended in Nexus (WP1). Task 1.2.2 requires assessment of up to a maximum 20 national Food Composition Database FCDB Compiler organisations during 2years and overall recommendations for continuation in the future. This report describes reviews of 10 FCDB Compiler organisations and summarises initial conclusions. FCDB Compiler organisations have benefitted from the opportunity to review their data compilation processes and identify areas that could be improved and this information is important for their own organisation and management operations. The reviews have demonstrated the impact of EuroFIR developed guidelines for compilation processes and how FCDB Compilers have implemented quality management frameworks.
