Dear Colbert,
Can't compare with PAS 220, etc because I am not that rich.
Rgds / Charles.C
Thanks Colbert for the link
Charles, I wouldn't claim to be rich but I somewhat foolishly (in retrospect) purchased PAS 220. Here is a summary of the contents of the two:
Synergy PRP 22000:2009 (E) specifies detailed PRP requirements to be considered in relation to 7.2.3 of ISO 22000:2005, specifically:
a) construction and layout of buildings and associated utilities;
b) layout of premises, including workspace and employee facilities;
c) supplies of air, water, energy and other utilities;
d) supporting services, including waste and sewage disposal;
e) suitability of equipment and its accessibility for cleaning, maintenance and preventive maintenance;
f) management of purchased materials;
g) measures for the prevention of cross contamination;
h) cleaning and sanitizing;
i) pest control;
j) personnel hygiene,
k) control of operations
In addition, this standard addresses other aspects which are considered relevant to food chain operations such as strategic food protection.
PAS 220:2008 specifies detailed requirements to be considered in relation to 7.2.3 of BS EN ISO 22000:2005, specifically:
a) construction and layout of buildings and associated utilities;
b) layout of premises, including workspace and employee facilities;
c) supplies of air, water, energy and other utilities;
d) supporting services, including waste and sewage disposal;
e) suitability of equipment and its accessibility for cleaning, maintenance and preventive maintenance;
f) management of purchased materials;
g) measures for the prevention of cross contamination;
h) cleaning and sanitizing;
i) pest control;
j) personnel hygiene.
In addition, this PAS adds other aspects which are considered relevant to manufacturing operations:
i) rework;
ii) product recall procedures;
iii) warehousing;
iv) product information and consumer awareness;
v) food defence, biovigilance and bioterrorism.
Given the Synergy document is free and as far as I can see covers most of the PAS 220 bar product recall and product information I would not recommend any member purchases PAS 220 but uses the Synergy document.
Kind regards,
Tony
