The Certified HACCP Auditor Handbook

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

HACCP has evolved over the years, and so has the American Society for Quality (ASQ). As a result of this evolution, the Certified HACCP Auditor Examination has also evolved. This certification first started as an add-on to the Certified Quality Auditor. In 2004, the ASQ Certification Board approved the Certified HACCP Auditor as a stand-alone certification.

Along with this change, the Body of Knowledge was updated to include the principles of management systems auditing and analytical tools of quality assurance. As a result, this handbook was developed to assist the certification candidate in preparing for the Certified HACCP Auditor examination.

This volume incorporates most of the resource material that was published in The Quality Auditor’s HACCP Handbook. New chapters cover the HACCP audit, the HACCP auditor, and quality assurance analytical tools. In addition, the appendices describe ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety Management Systems—Requirements for Any Organization in the Food Chain and the validation of HACCP systems.
