HACCP is an internationally used standard in food manufacturing, processing, treatment and service organisations. Application of HACCP is a constitutional requirement for food industries in many countries. The association with a quality management system enables the food industry to manage the safety of food products under the definite management system structure. HAeCp principles require identification of the vital control points in the manufacturing or service progressions and set ups of food safety controls. TUV AUSTRIA has developed a methodical specification of requirements for an operational HAeCp system for use in audit and certification for the food manufacturing and service industries.
