BRC Standard 6.1.2 - password protection of equipment

Hi all,

The new BRC is requiring: to have equipment setting password protected or restricted where they are critical to the safety or legality of the product. OK, fine. Metal detectors and check Weigher come to mind for a bakery plant. Does anyone think of more equipment that can be password protected or restricted please?

Thank you,

Checkweighers, PLCs for product recipes and process settings

Is that point can be under food farud issue ??

Clause 6.1.2 is in the "Control of Operations" section, but unauthorised changes to process equipment settings could potentially be a food defence issue. I suppose there are circumstances in which it could also be a food fraud issue - e.g. changing automated dosing systems so recipes don't match what is claimed.
