Validation of Control Measures-OPRPS

Hi All,

According to ISO 22K, is there a requirement to validate OPRPs or it only applies to CCPs? .Someone help. Am getting confused by the requirement.

Dear Agwanda.

The requirement you are looking for is 8.2:

8.2 Validation of control measure combinations

Prior to implementation of control measures to be included in operational PRP(s) and the HACCP plan and after any change therein (see 8.5.2), the organization shall validate (see 3.15) that

a) the selected control measures are capable of achieving the intended control of the food safety hazard(s) for which they are designated, and

b) the control measures are effective and capable of, in combination, ensuring control of the identified food safety hazard(s) to obtain end products that meet the defined acceptable levels.
