💙 PSA Biosecurity & ISO 9001 Conformity Evaluation
Biosecurity System Assessment Aligned with Quality Management Principles
🎯 Purpose
To establish a data-driven, scientific framework for evaluating the conformity of biosecurity systems in poultry, livestock, and aquaculture units with the management and process requirements of ISO 9001:2015.
This evaluation focuses on disease prevention (e.g., avian influenza), operational sustainability, and stakeholder satisfaction — conducted without certification or consultancy involvement.
🧠 PSA Philosophy
At PSA, biosecurity is not fences and disinfectants alone — it is an integrated quality system.
This evaluation examines managerial, procedural, and behavioral elements within the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA)framework to ensure that biosecurity programs are:
-
Evidence-based and measurable
-
Continually improving
-
Integrated with the organization’s quality management system
⚙️ Structure of the PSA Evaluation
| Main Axis | Key Indicators | Related ISO 9001 Clause |
|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ Planning & Risk Analysis | Identification of biosecurity hazards and critical control points | 4.1 – 6.1 |
| 2️⃣ Resources & Infrastructure | Facilities, disinfection systems, storage and traffic routes | 7.1.3 – 7.1.5 |
| 3️⃣ Competence & Awareness | Biosecurity training and personnel qualification programs | 7.2 – 7.3 |
| 4️⃣ Operational Control | Entry of people, chicks, feed, and vehicles | 8.5.1 |
| 5️⃣ Monitoring & Internal Audit | Risk checklists, data review, and performance monitoring | 9.1 – 9.2 |
| 6️⃣ Corrective Action & Improvement | Incident analysis and continuous process enhancement | 10.1 – 10.3 |
📊 Deliverables
1️⃣ PSA Bio-QMS Report – A detailed technical report showing conformity status, weaknesses, and improvement opportunities.
2️⃣ PSA-BCI (Biosecurity Conformity Index) – A numerical score (0–100) representing the maturity level of the biosecurity management system.
3️⃣ Biosecurity–Quality Risk Map – A visual analysis of preventive, control, and improvement zones across the farm.

🧾 PSA Biosecurity Conformity Index (BCI)
| Level | Score Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Level A | 85 – 100 | Integrated, sustainable, exemplary system |
| 🟡 Level B | 70 – 84 | Acceptable system with minor improvements needed |
| 🟠 Level C | 50 – 69 | Key processes require correction or realignment |
| 🔴 Level D | < 50 | High risk – system redesign recommended |
💬 PSA Message
Effective biosecurity is not only about disease control;
it is a living part of organizational quality.
Biosecurity is Quality in Action.
