Can anybody tell me PRP manual is categorize as level 1 or level 3 in our doc control procedure??

Can anybody tell me PRP manual is categorize as level 1 or level 3 in our doc control procedure??

Does it really matter?

OK well in my mind the hierarchy of documents should be:

Policy
Quality Manual
Procedures
Work Instructions
Forms
Records

In that case I would class PRP's as procedures.

as you state PRP MANUAL and simon post.. I think PRP Manual include in FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY MANUAL.. and for the practice you have to include PRP control on your procedure.

To ki_Prayong:

Just to share with you our experience.

Our company is a HACCP certified company by the Ministry of Health Malaysia and we are required to have a separate manual for HACCP and PRP / GMP manual. So, our practice is to treat the PRP manual the same level as the HACCP manual (Level 1).
[This means: the approval, issuance, control, amendment, distribution, storage and disposal method of our GMP manual are the same as the HACCP Manual]

Simon is right in that it doesn't really matter what level of document it is. It is just a piece of paper that on its one doesn't actually do anything. A competent auditor will be looking for evidence that the PRP's are documented, implemented and effective.....not where in your manual you have placed them.

just share my experience.. we make PRP manual as guidance to implement GMP the doc is the level 1.. and we have SOP, WI and Form Checklist to implement that guidance.. And FYI we already certified ISO 2000 since 2007
