Time Between Pre-assessment Audit & Formal Audit?
Started by ladytygrr, Aug 20 2015 03:33 PM
Hi everyone,
I did a google search both on this forum and on the internet without finding an answer. So quick question:
Is there a specific/required/recommended time frame that your formal SQF audit (we're going for L2) needs to happen after your pre-assessment audit is completed or is it open ended?
Thank you!

Do you spend enough time on food safety and quality improvement?
First time Costco audit, no GFSI certification
BRC Unannounced Audit Time
Soft Drinks - Pasteurisation Time/Temp (PU's)
Swabbing zone 1,2,3 at the same time

A pre-assesment is voluntary/not mandatory for your certification. This being said that makes the time between the pre-assesment and the formal audit open ended.
Yay - thank you, brianweber!
You are very welcome :welcome:
Most of our clients have us do their pre-assessment 1 month prior to the desk audit and if needed 1 month prior to the cert. audit allowing the facility enough time to correct items, etc.

For temperature cooling does the time limit of 2-hour start when the temperature is at 135 °F for the sauce?
Does a Quality Manager need to be on site any time production is running?
