Validation and Verification Support
Proving that your safety controls work before implementation (validation) and confirming they operate correctly on an ongoing basis (verification) are fundamental requirements of GFSI standards, BRCGS, and food safety regulations. We provide technical support to design, execute, and document scientifically sound validation and verification protocols across your operations.
How We Support Your System Integrity
Process & CCP Validation
Gathering scientific evidence, trial data, and thermal profile studies to prove that critical limits (such as cooking times, pasteurisation, metal detection, or chilling) reliably achieve the required hazard reduction.
Cleaning & Allergen Validation
Designing robust swab sampling plans, ATP testing, and analytical allergen testing protocols to validate line clearance and sanitation procedures.
Verification Programme Design
Establishing structured internal review schedules, routine data checks, calibration routines, and environmental monitoring plans to confirm ongoing compliance.
Equipment & System Commissioning
Validating new factory machinery, digital software systems, and altered process lines prior to commercial sign-off and production runs.
Independent Review & Trend Analysis
Objective annual reviews of historical monitoring data, microbial trends, and non-conformance logs to prove system efficacy to third-party auditors.
