It depends what you are precisely responding to / what you are actually doing (???), but a (general) policy statement could be like “Raw materials are sourced from approved suppliers and further sampled for acceptability at time of reception”
Better. I liked this statement. Thank your for your suggestion.
The relevant (main)(QP) procedure(s) (see Tony’s post) is typically listed individually at end of section and/or cumulatively at end of manual, the chosen format being stated at the beginning of manual. Sub-procedures are then specified in the main procedures as I’m sure you know already.
I think so.
It would probably be helpful if you posted a typical flow chart / specification for your product X. Otherwise, some of our answers may well be nonsense.
The documents that I am developing are for our subsidiary located in another site. I haven’t been there but was scheduled to visit them next week to prepare them for ISO 22000 certification comes this May 2011. I will their flowchart here as soon as I saw there processes. I was tasked to document our subsidiary’s
FSMS manual. My boss said they are certified to
HACCP already so I presume and very hopeful that they already established PRPs, OPRPs and
CCPs. Otherwise, it would be a disaster since I lack knowledge of it.
Sampling plans are invariably a compromise between objectives / capabilities / logistics. Any (your) chosen plan may determine the probability of hazards existing in yr starting material. Only you know the possible significance of such details. for example, see ISO 22004, par.7.3.
Actually I am not trying to structure it along the lines of ISO 9001. It’s just that I was used to it as once a user of ISO 22000 myself. On the other hand, I have no experience on ISO 22000.
