Prior to implementation of control measures to be included in operational PRP(s) and the HAP plan and after any change therein (see !.".#), the organi$ation validates (see %.&") that a) the selected selected control control measures measures are capabl capable e of achieving achieving the intended intended control control of the food safety ha$ard(s) for 'hich they are designated and b) the control control measures measures are effectiv effective e and capable capable of, in combination combination,, ensuring ensuring control control of the identified food safety ha$ard(s) to obtain end products that meet the defined acceptable levels. f the result of the validation sho's that one or both of the above elements cannot be confirmed the control measure and/or combinations thereof are modified and reassessed (see *.+.+). odi odific ficat atio ions ns may incl includ ude e chan change ges s in cont contro roll meas measur ures es (i.e (i.e.. proc proces ess s para parame mete ters rs,, rigo rigoro rous usne ness ss and/ and/or or thei theirr comb combin inat atio ion) n) and/ and/or or chan change ge(s (s)) in the the ra' ra' mate materi rial als, s, manufa manufactu cturin ring g techno technolog logies ies,, and and end end produc productt charac character terist istics ics,, method methods s of distrib distributi ution on and/or intended use of the end product. #$ #$

#$6$+ U!datin( t"e food &afet' ana(eent &'&te Top management ensures that the food safety management system is continually updated. n order to achieve this, the food safety team evaluates the food safety management system at planned intervals. The team then considers 'hether it is necessary to revie' the ha$ard analysis (see *.+), the established operational PRP(s) (see *.") and the HAP plan (see *.7.&). The evaluation and updating activities are based on a) input from communication, e3ternal as 'ell as internal as stated in ".7, b) input from other information concerning the suitability, ade0uacy and effectiveness of the food safety management system, c) output from the analysis of results of verification activities (see !.+.%) and d) output from management revie' (see ".!.%) 6ystem updating activities are recorded and reported in an appropriate manner, as input to the management revie' (see ".!.#).
