Validation and verification
6.8.1 Validation
An independent validation of the HACCP plan must be carried out. Management must establish a validation team in order to avoid undue influence. The members of the HACCP team can be members of the validation team but the validation team must have independent members. If this is not possible for the participant then he may deviate from this as long as his reasons are given.
The composition of the validation team and the activities they carry out must be clearly laid down
