CCPs with validated limits (%)
–
Checks per day
–
Checks per week
Equation: Validated (%) = CCPs with validated limits ÷ total CCPs × 100. Checks per day = checks per shift × shifts per day. Checks per week = checks per day × 7.
Method: Critical limit register per Codex CAC/RCP 1-1969 (Rev. 2020), HACCP Principle 3: every CCP must have a critical limit that separates acceptable from unacceptable, validated as effective. ISO 22000:2018 clause 8.5.4.2 requires the same, with the monitoring method recorded for each CCP.
Assumptions: each CCP is counted once; checks per shift is the same for every CCP; a 7-day week is used for the weekly total.
Limitations: a validated limit is one the team has evidence for — a limit copied from another product without checking is not validated. The register counts limits; it does not judge whether they are right.
Rounding: percentages to 2 decimal places; check counts are whole numbers; intermediates unrounded.

Worked example: 6 CCPs, 5 with validated limits, 4 checks per shift over 2 shifts: validated 83.33%, 8 checks per day, 56 checks per week.

Every CCP needs a validated limit before the plan goes live — an unvalidated limit is a finding at audit. Saved on this device only. Tool 244 of 500 — GIFSQ
