Hi esosa77,
SOP's are usually based on manufacturer's guidance for the equipment.
BRC Food Standard:
4.10.5 OPTICAL SORTING EQUIPMENT
4.10.5.1 Each unit shall be checked in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or recommendations.
BRC Guidance: Optical sorting equipment
Optical sorting devices are commonly used in some industries to remove unsatisfactory products or contaminants, usually on the basis of colour or variance from a reference material. Where equipment is in use, procedures need to be developed for the maintenance and testing of the equipment.
This is usually developed with the manufacturer when the equipment is installed and commissioned.
Kind regards,
Tony
