Surveillance Audit 7.2 or 8.0

I just completed a surveillance audit for 7.2; audit suggested that air monitoring should be included in a risk assessment when preparing environmental sampling plan. I don't see any suggestion of it in version 8 or the guidance documentation but I thought I would pass it on

if I was you I would add it because it shows the way you came to your finding. it also backs up you due-diligence. 

Huh, so a suggestion, not a Non-conformance? Generally I would challenge any auditor "opinions" on my risk assessments.

Thanks for the heads up, I just assumed ambient air quality showed up somewhere in the code, confirmed bubkis.

i needed him to sign off on my crapolla surveillance audit (that wouldn't have been necessary had I been here at that time) or I would have argued farther.  I will say I did finally get an auditor who knew my actual process and understood (over the phone) what had occurred and how things were resolved

I appreciate that "Surveillance" is presumably something else but JFI, SQF8 Manufacturing Guidance (2.4.8)  has -

An effective environmental monitoring program (EMP) is in place;

(not stated as such in the Code)

"Effective" is a nicely subjective terminology.

always Charles, just like "suitable" or "quality"

SQF requires that water meets a "quality standard" this does not exist in Canada.....potability standards yes, "quality" no

Hahaha, I would love to see a NC for failing to perform regular sensory on your incoming municipal water to ensure highest quality. 

I agree!!!!!!!!

The folks maintaining these systems need a head check..........we test the water monthly for potability.................and i've always just downloaded the local/closest water reports yearly for "quality" parametres

If that report says DDT in the water is lower then it was the year before and year before etc etc and DDT is now banned.......why would i spend $2500/year to test for the same stuff??

AND SQF has not defined "quality" nor could they   sheesh!

In my next life I wanted to be a cat, but now I'm thinking i want to sit in an office and make changes to codes that are indecipherable and non sensible just to mess with people!!
