Validation of control measure combinations in ISO 22000
Clause 8.2

Prior to implementation of control measures to be included in operational PRP(s) and the HACCP plan and after
any change therein (see 8.5.2), the organization shall validate (see 3.15) that

a) the selected control measures are capable of achieving the intended control of the food safety hazard(s) for which they are designated, and

b) the control measures are effective and capable of, in combination, ensuring control of the identified food
safety hazard(s) to obtain end products that meet the defined acceptable levels.

If the result of the validation shows that one or both of the above elements cannot be confirmed, the control
measure and/or combinations thereof shall be modified and re-assessed (see 7.4.4).

Modifications may include changes in control measures (i.e. process parameters, rigorousness and/or their
combination) and/or change(s) in the raw materials, manufacturing technologies, end product characteristics,
methods of distribution and/or intended use of the end product.
