Hi,
Unfortunately I can`t share the entire procedure here.
Please approach your QA manager for BRC issue 9, standard interpretation.
In your procedure you should list relevant departmental heads. For example Hygiene manager, prior purchase should check equipment specification and raise any concerns, technical manager will be looking for food grade certificate. Engineers for technical/ electrical specifications etc. however not every single equipment must be signed prior purchase. For example white food contact containers has nothing to do with engineers but definitely shall be checked by technical, production and hygiene prior purchase.
you will need two signatures, one prior purchase and then after to confirm compliance in the factory
Engineering or production teams have a tendency to order some non-food grade equipment, without informing hygiene or technical. Often such equipment is used (second hand) , and shouldn't end up in the factory
QC0428 is a checklist, what should be checked prior purchase and you need to decide what should be there.
