The inspection and testing section of the Standard is a fundamental element to the management system, which ensures that the product, process and service meets the specification. It’s also key to driving continuous improvement and identifying early when the process is going out of specification, so that it can be rectified.
Inspection and testing can be an expensive and time consuming process, so it’s important to be pragmatic and ensure that the programme really adds value. This pack guides you through the process so that you can just pick out the key attributes for your product, process and service and focus on them, so that you can get the maximum benefit from your testing budget.

Environmental monitoring
The aim of environmental monitoring is to make sure that the environment (as in the area or facility) that we handle product in, fit for use. Ultimately to make sure that the food doesn’t get contaminated. This pack incorporates environmental monitoring into the testing programme.
Testing programme
The first part of the programme is to risk assess what inspection and testing is required. This pack then provides you with a structure to ensure that the programme is organised to meet the Standard.
Calibration
Testing equipment is used to produce a measurement result. This pack provides a robust framework for calibration and accuracy checks, to ensure that these results are accurate.
