During our SQF audit, our Auditor who came from French Speaking areas, keep saying the word SAS. Can anyone help me to clarify what's the full term of SAS?

 

Thanks.

I have no idea.  You probably should have asked your auditor.  If you still have communication with your auditor why not send an email to ask, I would.  I've run into issues with auditors using specific terminology during an audit that I didn't understand.  I simply asked them to clarify or tell me what they mean.  Don't be afraid to ask...in my experience, the smartest people are the ones who ask a lot of questions.  Good luck!

Hello, SAS is the pre area of reception, an enclosed area prepared to separate and manage potential cross contamination. It can be or not refrigerated.

French here, "sas" is actually not an acronym, and it's closest translation would be airlock. As Leila Burin said, it is designed for the entry/exit of goods or people in or from a controlled area.
