Does it matter if I call a document designed to control a CCP an SOP?

Your risk analysis should show a cross reference between the CCP and the SOP (control).

 

This allows you to show anyone, including an auditor, depending on whether they start with the CCP or start with the SOP:

1.  This CCP is controlled by this SOP.

2.  This SOP document is for this CCP.

We are currently in the process of introducing an ISO 22000 based FSMS in restaurant.

We identified all the CCPs and PRPs that we need and wrote all the relevant SOPs and rolled them out.

However, our documents are not specifically called CCP XY.

 

For example.

We identified cooking as a CCP, therefore we created the document FS_002_Food Cooking, which describes what internal temperatures our foods have to have, how often the temperature needs to be measured with the temperature measurement device, corrective actions etc.

 

We referenced the CCP to this document, is that sufficient to show that we control the CCP when audited for ISO 22000 or do we need to have to rename our documents?

 

Thank you so much for your help, 

Kat

Not particularly experienced in ISO 22000, however I do know one thing and that is it does not matter what you name your documents, what matters is you are saying what you're doing and doing what your're saying. Are all the items needed to pass your audit in that SOP? Is what the auditor looking for in that document? If yes then there should be no problem with it. You also just want to make it easier for yourself to navigate through your documents to provide the auditor. Choose whatever system you like. Hope that helps :)

Thank you, yes and I think so as well, I think for our personnel when they get trained on documents it is easier not to complicated it with naming everything differently. I referenced the documents in the sheet where we have the resulting CCPs/PRPs of our Hazard Analysis to make it easier to show how they are connected and also make it clear in an audit.

I also created a website which included a page that shows all the PRPs on one subsite and one for the CCPs. :)

Great, that is what I did with it, we have it linked in our Hazard analysis, I made a table to cross reference, as well as at our FSMS website, in which I have a CCP page and a PRP page that links the document to the respective process.

 

Thank you for your help!
