ISO 22000

Each of the operational prerequiste programmes must be documented and include all of the following information:
- food safety hazards to be controlled by the programme
- control measures
- monitoring procedures that demonstrate operational prerequisite programmes are implemented
- corrections and corrective actions to be taken if monitoring shows that the operational prerequisite programmes are not in control
- responsibilities and authorities
- records of monitoring


Interpretation from the International Register of Certificated Auditors:
Establishing the operational prerequisite programmes (PRPs)
One of the outputs of the hazard analysis is the determination of operational PRPs. This sets up prevention and control measures which deal with food safety risk levels somewhat below those which need to be included in the HACCP plan. Auditors should examine the decision making process at the hazard analysis stage as well as how the necessary control and monitoring activities for operational PRPs are determined.
