UHT Milk - Verification of Critical limit - Failsafe testing report template
Dear all, I'm looking for a template protocol/report to test fail-safe function at defined Criticial limits of CCP/oPRP? Do you have such template to share? And can you tell me what info should this protocol/report have? Thanks in advance, Tom
What type of failsafe function is it that you're looking to test?
The specifics of what you need to record could be very dependent on that.
Is this routine (e.g. daily) testing, or validation for a new install?
In principle this can be relatively simple - for example I have a pasteuriser with an autodivert if the temp falls below the critical limit, and there is a simple check recorded on the production form to confirm that this has triggered as part of the automatic test built into the startup cycle.
If it's something more complex then you'll just need to work out what the key parameters/observations are that prove it works in the intended way.
Thank you. Do you have a template?

Hi Dat Hoang,
It may assist to get relevant feedback if you can answer some of the queries in Post 2.

Hi Dat Hoang,
Thks for the details.
I'm not sure if you mean (A) Verification or (B) Validation ? eg -
(A) Product Sterilization Verification would involve sterility testing such as discussed at length here -
Commercial Sterility testing methods.pdf 581.35KB 28 downloads
(B) Critical/Action Limit Validation would imply something like -
(1) A Va Procedure for determining the sterilization parameters for UHT Milk (presumably in respect to T/ t).
(2) A Va Procedure for determining the sterilization parameters appropriate to internal surfaces of the "Filler" (I am not in the Milk business but I assume this item [somewhere] relates to the UHT Milk Process).
I'm guessing you are seeking (B) but please correct me if I'm wrong. So -
(a) I anticipate No.1 is standardized (eg like HTST) and available in UHT milk textbooks (IIRC from long memory, a UHT milk graph exists illustrating possible "critical" combinations).
(b) I speculate that No 2 may need access to the manufacturer of the specific Filler equipment.
Validation can be found in the FDA's pasteurized milk ordinance. You can also find some ways to test for those variables under the equipment testing methods in the same pasteurized milk ordinance. Latest version is 2019. 2021 comes out early in 2022.
Take care to denote the differences between HTST and UHT equipment testing methodologies.
