Summary of Guide4.1 HazardAnalysis-Critical Control Point (HACCP) evalu-ation has become increasingly applied to natural resourcemanagement and
26、 environmental engineering problems, par-ticularly as hazards may be managed, for example, with respectto the safety of processes or release of materials or products tothe environment. HACCP should be an integral part of man-agement practices focused on engineering or resource manage-ment practices
27、used to develop aquatic, wetland, and terrestrialhabitats for human use (for example, agriculture or construc-tion activities) or to enhance habitats for fish and wildlife.HACCP is a systematic and preventive approach that addressesbiological, chemical and physical hazards through anticipationand pr
28、evention, rather than through end-product inspection andtesting or retrospective engineering solutions necessitated be-cause of previous undertakings. The HACCP system is in-tended for assessing and managing risks and safety concernsassociated with a wide range of materials, products, andmanagement
29、practices with an emphasis on a total systemsapproach to improve environmental quality. This standardcould be used in conjunction with existing ASTM standardssuch as Guides E1023, E2348 and E1609. HACCP emphasizescontrol of a process as far upstream in the processing system aspossible by utilizing o
30、perator control or continuous monitoringtechniques, or a combination of both, at critical control points.The HACCP system uses the approach of controlling criticalpoints in any process to reduce or eliminate risks and preventsafety problems from developing. The identification of specifichazards and
31、measures for their control to ensure the safety ofa process, material, or product through prevention and reducesthe reliance on end-product inspection and testing (for ex-ample, for agrichemicals), remedial measures (for example,related to construction practices), or mitigation measures aspart of a
32、control program (for example, quarantine or disinfec-tion for control of invasive species) are integral components ofany HACCP system.Any HACCP system should be capable ofaccommodating change, such as advances in equipment designor developing alternative resource management practices,changes in proc
33、essing procedures, or technological develop-ments.4.2 This guide describes an iterative procedure for assessinghazard and characterizing CCPs. Unavailable, yet necessaryinformation concerning the hazard and the process generatingthat hazard should be identified and characterized through astepwise ev
34、aluation that details the hazard and specifies criticalpoints that may serve to control the process, and minimize oreliminate hazard. At the end of any iteration of the HACCPprocess, specific CCPs that reduce likelihood of hazard may beidentified, or the available data related to the hazard and the3

36、 insuf-ficient to adequately characterize hazard or CCPs. In the latterinstance, additional data or information should be identifiedand obtained, so that HA and CCPs can be reassessed. Theprocess is repeated until the hazard is adequately characterizedand CCPs are characterized in order to reduce li
37、kelihood thathazard is realized.5. Significance and Use5.1 HACCP is a proactive management tool that serves toreduce hazards potentially expressed as adverse biological orenvironmental effects, for example, associated with chemicalreleases, changes in natural resource or engineering practicesand the
38、ir related impacts, and accidental or intentional releasesof biological stressors such as invasive species.5.2 Sequential implementation of HACCP and feedback inthe iterative HACCP process allows for technically-basedjudgments concerning, for example, natural resources or theuse of natural resources
39、. Implementing the HACCP processserves to reduce adverse effects potentially associated with aparticular material or process, and provides guidance fortesting and evaluation of products or processes, through apre-emptive procedure focused on information most pertinentto a systems characterization. F
40、or example, identification ofCCPs assure that processes and practices can be managed toachieve hazard reduction. For different processes and situa-tions, HA may be based on substantially different amounts andkinds of, for example, biological, chemical, physical, andtoxicological data, but the identi
41、fication of CCPs serving toreduce hazard is key to successful implementation of HACCP.5.3 HACCP should never be considered complete for alltime, and continuing reassessment is a characteristic ofHACCP evaluations, especially if there should be changes in,for example, production volumes of a material
42、, or its use ordisposal increases, new uses are discovered, or new informa-tion on biological, chemical, physical, or toxicological proper-ties becomes available. Similarly, HACCP should be consid-ered an ongoing process serving as a key component inengineering practices, for example, related to con
43、structionactivities and land-use changes, and natural resource manage-ment practices, for example, related to habitat use, enhance-ment, and species introductions such as fish-stocking pro-grams. Periodic review of a systems performance will helpassure that new circumstances and information receive
44、promptand appropriate attention.5.4 In many cases, consideration of adverse effects shouldnot end with completion of the HA and identification of CCPskey to the development of control measures. Additional stepsmay subsequently include risk assessment, and decisionsconcerning acceptability of identif
45、ied hazards and risks, andmitigation actions potentially applicable to the process orpractice that initially motivated HACCP.6. Basic Concepts of Hazard Analysis-Critical ControlPoint (HACCP) Evaluation6.1 Overview of HACCP EvaluationThe basic principleof HACCP relies on system characterization and
46、a repetitive oriterative evaluation of that system and its attendant outcomes.When available data to characterize a system are inadequateand CCPs can not be adequately characterized, data needs areidentified and HACCP reiterated. The process is repeated untilHA is adequate and CCPs are clearly ident
47、ified. The HACCPsystem systematically identifies hazards and measures for theircontrol to ensure the safety of any process, but especially thoseinvolving engineering or management practices that manipu-late materials, products, or systems potentially associated withadverse effects directly or indire
48、ctly associated with thosemanipulations. HACCP is a tool to assess hazards and establishcontrol systems that focus on prevention rather than relyingmainly on end-product testing and inspection. Any HACCPsystem is capable of accommodating change, such as advancesin equipment design, processing proced
49、ures or technologicaldevelopments. This section reviews the 12 tasks in the appli-cation of HACCP, including the seven HACCP principles. Itemphasizes the importance of standards and guidelines as abasis for developing the HACCP plan.6.2 Principles of the HACCP SystemThe HACCP systemconsists of seven principles that guide any evaluation.6.2.1 Conduct a hazard analysis.
