· The
first thing that can be noticed looking at the table is that there is no direct
correspondence between the clauses; however, as a general rule:
· The old
4, 5 and 6 clauses correspond to the new clauses 4, 5, 6 and 7
· Clause
8 of the new version corresponds to most of the previous version’s clause 7
· 2005’s
version clause 8 is now addressed in clauses 9 and 10
· In the
new version, the different subjects addressed by the standard are organized
according with their position in the PLAN/DO/CHECK/ACT cycle, and that explains
most of the clauses that changed place, for instance:
· The
topic about the competence of food safety team and how it is appointed that was
presented inside HACCP clause 7 (2005 version), moved to clause 5.3 (Organizational
roles, responsibilities and authorities) and clause 7.3 (Competence), since it
is an PLAN activity, not a DO activity.
· Emergency
preparedness and response also jumps from clause 5.7 (2005 version) to clause 8
(Operation), that is the DO clause according with the standard.
· Management
review leaves the Management Responsibility (clause 5) of the 2005 version to
the CHECK step of the cycle (clause 9 of the new version).
· Despite
of the fact that in the case of points 2 and 3 presented above the subjects are
no longer under a clause that included all the Management responsibilities (in
the last version), Top Management is still accountable for these issues in the
new version.
