Hazard control · SPEC SHEET
HACCP is the practical hazard-control file food operations need for buyer confidence, regulator-facing readiness and internal discipline. In Saudi Arabia that pressure usually arrives via the SFDA.
SPEC 01 · WHAT IT COVERS
Biological, chemical and physical hazards identified per process step, on the real flow diagram.
Where control is essential, with critical limits that mean something on the floor.
Who checks what, how often, and what the record looks like when it is done honestly.
What happens to product and process when a limit is breached, with the evidence trail.
Calibration, review, testing and the documentation that survives an external audit.
SPEC 03 · THE ROUTE
Five controlled steps, with the certification decision separated from the audit team.
SPEC 04 · TIMELINE
End-to-end timing depends mostly on your readiness and how fast findings close. QSI gives a dated plan at application review instead of promising a certificate by a date no audit has earned yet.
Scope, sites, shifts and man-days confirmed before anything is quoted.
Documentation and readiness review. Gaps are reported before Stage 2 is planned.
The certification audit, on your floor, against the running system.
Correction and corrective action evidence within agreed timescales.
Independent review of the file, then the certification decision and certificate.
Follow-up audits on the agreed cycle confirm the system continues to operate.
SPEC 05 · WHAT IT PROVES
SPEC 06 · MAN-DAY TRANSPARENCY
HACCP audit planning depends on product lines, hazards, CCPs, shifts and process complexity. QSI scopes the actual operation before confirming audit effort.
SPEC 07 · FAQ
Common questions about scope, timing and the audit, answered directly.
It is a direct way to show hazards are identified, controlled, monitored and corrected with records.
Yes. A HACCP file that does not match the floor is a certification risk.
Often, yes. HACCP can become the food-safety core of a wider ISO 22000 management system.
The certificate scope must be specific. It should not imply product certification unless that is explicitly covered.
ANNEX · KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA
HACCP audits in the Kingdom run under QSI's Saudi accreditation and approval footprint, with auditors based in Riyadh and clients served across the country and the Gulf.
