DIN-ISO-9002 IN A MEAT PROCESSING PLANT E XEMPLIFIED AT THE RECEIVINGINSPECTION .1. METHODICAL ASPECTS

Purchasing (DIN-ISO point 4.2) is an important point for the implement ation of a quality system. The procedure must ensure that the purchase d product conforms to specified requirements. The fullfilling of this condition means the realisation of the HACCP-concept at the CCP ''Purc hasing'', developed by the ICMSF (International Commission on Microbio logical Specifications for Foods) for the process analysis in the micr obiological field. In order to ensure a uniform procedure for the rece iving inspection in meat processing plants in Styria, a quality system procedure has been developed. This procedure describes organisational activities and responsibilities, e.g. adequate storage of microbiolog ical test equipment, schedule of the 'veterinaries for the routine exa minations or the documentation of the results. Moreover the quality sy stem procedure contains a checklist for the receiving inspection and a document for the control of nonconforming products.
