Validate if new equipment from the last year are in the Schedule. Validate the documentation of 3 equipment that cleanliness is questionable (Schedule: method, frequency, last cleaning confirmation). Does all the equipment added to the after production cleaning diagrams?
Is changeover cleaning sequence is up to date?
Are all premises and equipment are kept clean and in hygienic conditions?
Procedures: - 710-PRC-0001 point 3.1
Instructions: -
Forms/validation: -
BRC REF: 4.11, 5.3.8
License up to date, verify the network maps vs some devices, Insurance certificate up to date?
The visits calendar is available and respected? Pesticides are food grade approved?
Network up to date?
Verify some devices on site: clean, in good condition, identified on the wall?
Once a year verify the technician's job by placing false captures in the devices
Validate the Corrective Action demands and their processing time.
Are there obvious facts of contamination by insects, rodents or others?
Is the Pest Control Program with trend charts analysis done annually?
Is the network reviewed and conform?
Is the annual risk analysis done? (dated less than one year)
Are employees able to recognize signs of pest activity? Are they aware they should report pest activity to designated manager?
If pest activity is identified it shall not present a risk of product contamination, raw materials or packaging. The presence of any infestation on site shall be identified in pest control records and be part of an effective management program to eliminate or manage the infestation such that it does not present a risk to products, raw materials or packaging .
Does the annual risk analysis was made? (Date of less than one year)
Are employees are able to recognize the signs of infestation? Do they know that they must report all activities to the designated director?
If the pest activity is detected, it should not present a risk of contamination of products, raw materials or packaging. An infestation must be recorded in the fight against vermin and activities should be targeted by the pest management program to eliminate or control the infestation so that it poses no risk to the products, raw materials or packaging.

BRC REF:
Is there an inspection report or other validation that the systems are hygienically designed with no dead areas, limited interruptions to flow streams and good system drain ability?
Scavenge/return pumps are operated to ensure that there is no build-up of CIP solutions in the vessels.
Spray balls and rotating spray devices effectively clean vessels by providing full surface coverage and are periodically inspected for blockages.
CIP equipment has adequate separation from active product lines (e.g. through the use of double seat valves, manually controlled links, blanks in pipework or make-or-break connections with proxy switches as interlocks) to prevent or safeguard against cross-contamination.
The system shall be re-validated following alterations or additions to the CIP equipment. A log of changes to the CIP system shall be maintained.
The CIP equipment shall be operated to ensure effective cleaning is carried out :the process parameters, time, detergent concentrations, flow rate and temperatures shall be defined to ensure removal of the appropriate target hazard (e.g. soil, allergens, vegetative micro-organisms, spores). This shall be validated and records of the validation maintained.
Detergent concentrations shall be checked routinely.
CIP process verification shall be undertaken by analysis of rinse waters and/or first product through the line for the presence of cleaning fluids or by tests of ATP (bio-luminescence techniques), allergens or micro-organisms as appropriate.
Detergent tanks shall be kept stocked up and a log maintained of when these are drained, cleaned, filled and emptied. Recovered post-rinse solutions shall be monitored for a build-up of carry-over from the detergent tanks.
Filters, where fitted, shall be cleaned and inspected at a defined frequency.
