Hi all,
We are a packaging factory that produce packings for tobacco and food sector. Customer sends us product design and we print, cut, slit, fold and make final packaging product. We had an SQP (Supplier Qualification Programme) audit from one of our customers. We have HACCP based process risk assessment but they also demand Product based risk assessment.
Their SQP standart asks like below:
2.2.1. Does the company establish a product risk assessment for each group or a group of similar products e.f., FMEA?
2.2.2. Does the product risk assessment determine following aspects which have an effect on product safety and legality?
2.2.2.1. User types (e.g. New born, young children, vulnerable people i.e., elderly, disabilities)
2.2.2.2. Product use (e.g. Behaviour, durability, user awareness, information and advice)
2.2.3. Does the product risk assessment determine the following?
2.2.3.1. Possible Hazard/Risk identification (eg. Chemical, physical, regulatory)
2.2.3.2. Risk level for each identified hazard/risk (eg. Severe, high, moderate, slight)
2.2.3.3. Whether the risk is acceptable considering the probability or likehood and the severity and potential consequences of the effects on consumer safety (e.g. not acceptable, review&approve, acceptable)
Do you have any example or ideas about how this needs to be done?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
