Do I need to document new label printer in quality manual

Dear all, 

My company bought a new label printer that we are using to label our products. We used to have an external company were doing the labels. 

Do I need to write it in our QUALITY manual  this procedure for the BRC ISSUE 5 packing?

Thank you . 

In my opinion, you have added one step into your production line. If your manual describes the process of labeling, you should update it, e.g. how to control materials, inks, printer & stocking of printed labels.

Beside that, I think it's better to update hazard & risk analysis too. Risk items could be contamination by inks, safety of inks (are they suitable for unintended food contact?), etc.

Hope this help.

Hi Beuatiophile 

thank you for your support and message. 

Probably , I will add it into my manual as a process. 

Best Regards
