Dear Rex,
I have seen your query today but happy to see the replies from FSSM and tsmith. Well said.
Just want to summaries both replies to help you further from my side. Hope it would clarify most of your confusions while re-studying the standard.
Requirements stated in 8.4.2 can be fulfilled by doing following tasks:
1- Any one or more members from food safety team should check the individual results of all planned verification activities including CCP, ORPP, PRP monitoring and verification activities. This checking should be systematic or planned, that is, it is defined or decided somehow that how results will be checked, who will check, when will check, to whom the results will be forwarded, what will be done if the results would not be satisfactory.
2- If the verification results are not satisfactory (does not demonstrate conformity with the planned arrangements, standard-values or procedures) then designated personnel should take actions to achieve required conformity. (some of these actions are defined in 8.4.2 a~d).
3- Detail and summary of all results, decisions, actions, follow-ups and status of all above evaluation is analysed by one or more members of food safety team along with other information to judge overall system performance, trends, effectiveness of actions, need for updating or improvements and to have information in order to update plans.
If you link up all above activities clause wise then it would look like this:
7.8 --> 8.4.2 ---> 8.4.3 --> 5.8.2
Hope I have not made it more complicated .
Regards:
Zeeshan
