Hi everyone,

 

I know it might sounds silly, but is there any "rule" of how we specify the documents? for example, HACCP plan might be HP 1.1 Revision 1 Issue date 07/10/2015  and that must be in every page? or we can just have  version 1.01  and nothing else? ( I am talking about footers and headers for all the documents concerning HACCP and BRC audits)

 

Thank you in advance. :helpplease:

The Standard is mute. You can do whatever you want.

Personally, I like to have a document number, revision number, effective date, approved by and page of page info in the footer.

As long as you follow and explain it, it is fine.  I have gone with a grid at the top; Title, doc number, and page number in top row.  doc creation date, revision/review date. and superseded revision in next row. Then approval, revised by, and revision number.  In the footer I like the file path but this is all just me,

 

My policies and procedures start like PAP001

my HACCP stuff is HCP001

SOP is SOP001

and safety stuff is SAF001

 and sub documents or related items get -01, -02 etc

 

But its all up to you!

Document control must be written, followed and easily explained.

 

In my job, we use header (company logo, document name, document number, issue date, revision date, revision number) and footer (name and signatures of the responsibles for issuing, reviewing and approving the document).

 

Documents are coded by groups (HACCPs; PRPs; ORPRs, etc) and all of them are listed in a master list (document name, document number, issue date, revision date, revision number, who must receive a controlled copy).

As long as you comply with the clause, how you comply is up to you.  This is how I do it.

 

I have our company logo, document code and title, version number and pages x of xx on the top of the form, on the bottom, I have when the document was approved, who wrote it and who authorised it (sometimes the same person depending on the nature of the document.)  This is then a header and footer on each page.  I would say it's difficult to argue any printed documents are truly document controlled unless the details are on each page but if you only use electronic documents it's perhaps less problematic.

 

One tip is for consistency, pick a format and stick to it.  Nothing reassures people more than documents which look professional and seeing the same format again and again reassures auditors that you have a consistently applied system and are professional.  Sad but true.
