Hello all,
We are trying to introduce compressed air onto one of our packaging lines. The compressed air will be used to blow air into our bags before product (cookies) are dropped in. We are a bakery and low risk. The filters are 0.01 micron.
I know that before we can use this new process, we need to validate that the compressed air is safe for use.
However, I am new to this and have no idea where to start.
I am not sure what to test for and how and how frequently before we can start using the air.
Do we test the air on a sponge? on a plate?
Do we have to send the finished product for testing?
Ho frequently do we have to conduct the testing?
What should we be testing for?
I am at a loss.
Please help.
Any direction, advise or information you could share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
