Verification activities
Calibrating monitoring equipment, reviewing records, internal audits of the plan and, where applicable, verification microbiological testing.
Validating the HACCP plan
Initial and periodic confirmation that the plan's elements (critical limits, CCPs) are actually capable of controlling the identified hazards.
Verification frequency
A verification frequency proportional to risk is defined, and the whole plan is reviewed after any significant change.
What an auditor usually asks for
- A calibration schedule for monitoring equipment
- Scheduled internal audits of the HACCP plan
- A record of the plan's initial and periodic validation
- Plan review after product, process or regulatory changes
