Validation of "CCP/CQP"
Could you share how you did validation of critical?

Hi Esperanza,
Which critical limits are you referring to ?
How do you do Validation of critical quality points ? See below.
Is there an sqf format for validation report? afaik - the format is up-to-you. Some Examples (for CCPs) exist on this Forum.
Hi Esperanza,
afaik SQF/7.2 has no specific request for "Validation of a CCP or CQP" ? .
SQF/7.2 does have a specific request for Validation of Critical Limits as (highly) detailed in 2.5.2.
Nonetheless, the SQF Guidance document for 7.2 contains this text which may hopefully answer yr question -
Validation methods for CCP’s or CQP’s must demonstrate that the hazard is adequately controlled. Possible validation for intervention steps used in the processing of product such as a “kill” step, may be one of the following:
• Scientific literature;
• Peer-reviewed published research;
• In-house or laboratory challenge studies;
• Reference to legally defined CCP’s, such as for the pasteurization of milk.
If technology is being used in a manner that is different from that described within literature or research then the supplier must demonstrate how the revised manner of use conforms to the original claim of intervention.
Validation is required for the critical limits identified for ALL CCPs and CQPs. Validation of a CQP must prove that the chosen intervention controls the identified threat to the quality of the product.
(IM(personal)opinion "Validation" for a CCP could be better interpreted (based on Codex Validation 2008) as showing evidence that the control measure associated with a CCP, when properly implemented, is capable of controlling a significant hazard to the outcomes as specified in the Codex definition of a CCP. But SQF choose to go their own way. :smile: )
A specific answer to yr question will depend on the relevant CCP/CQP.
