I'm starting to build my companies SQF program and came across clause 2.2.3.3--Records--"Records shall be readily accessible, retrievable, securely stored to prevent damage an deterioration and shall be retained in accordance with periods specified by a customer or regulations."
Two questions:
- Is it permissible to scan records and documentation and save the image on a computer?
- If it is not permissible to scan records and documentation, how long does the physical copy need to be kept?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
