Someone can learn me about the differences betwen OPRPs and SOP,with some examples(i am egg products operetor)
Dear italianbruschi,
Sorry I hv limited knowledge of egg processing.
The term standard operating procedure, or SOP, is used in a variety of different contexts, including healthcare, aviation, education, industry, and military.

haccp “definition” –
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are descriptions of particular tasks undertaken in a food processing operation. A specific SOP should address the following: the purpose and frequency of doing a task, who will do the task, a description of the procedure to be performed that includes all the steps involved, and the corrective actions to be taken if the task is performed incorrectly.
http://food.unl.edu/...oducts/haccpsopSOP is not
directly mentioned in ISO22000.
The major differences of interest in control measures used in iso22000 are normally between PRP, CCP and OPRP.
OPRP is a program for (iso22000 def.3.9) controlling the likelihood of introducing FS hazards to and/or controlling the contamination (or proliferation) of FS hazards in the product(s) or process environment. It also should comply with iso22004 (7.1b).
AFAIK the term OPRP as used in ISO22000 is unique to ISO22000.
As an example only, a list of possible SOPs are here –

And here –
a3c2 HACCP sop.pdf 752.72KB
293 downloads(inc. purpose, scope, procedure, monitoring, corrective actions, verification and record-keeping. Exc. Policy)
Similarly a (random) list of possible OPRPs is here –
a3c3 - calyx oprp.pdf 119.27KB
248 downloads(should be emphasised that such classifications are process-specific.)
Initially PRPs are primarily selected via PAS220 (or ISO equivalent).
After performing the hazard analysis and determining significant hazards (eg by risk matrix), these are then analysed by one of the various methods (eg Procert Tree) available so as to separate the control measures into
CCP or OPRP categories.
