German to English translations [PRO] Agriculture / Milk production
German term or phrase:Auflagen
"Abschließen möchte ich meinen Exkurs in das deutsche Milchhygienerecht mit diesem Chart mit der Überschrift „freiwillige Auflagen“.
Es zeigt, welche Untersuchungen die milchbe- und –verarbeitenden Betriebe von sich aus freiwillig im Rahmen ihrer Sorgfaltspflicht veranlassen, um einwandfreie Produkte herzustellen."
I don't understand what they mean by Auflagen in this context. TIA

or following your posting, voluntarily accepted by the farmer, presumably in advance of a health authority inspection of some sort - ISO 9001? Can it apply?
