## What is QS News & Tools?

The app provides users with sector-specific and target group-relevant news at all times and is the central source of information for scheme participants from agriculture and the production of fruit, vegetables and potatoes. Push notifications announce particularly important messages. Users will no longer miss any news from QS!


The app also allows livestock farmers and producers to view and edit their self-assessment checklists - as part of the QS inspection system - on their mobile device. Once the checklist is complete and finalised, it can be quickly released to the responsible coordinator and/or the responsible certification body. This function can save time in the respective audit, as the self-inspection checklists can be checked before the audit when they are forwarded to the certification body.


QS-certified livestock farmers and producers receive their access data for the app from their coordinator. These are the same access data as for the QS database. If a user has forgotten their access data, they can contact their coordinator.
