This standard serves as a guide to assist establishments in the food and beverage industry to develop and implement a food safety management system based on the HACCP principles. It focuses on the common critical hazards that are likely to occur
9、in the preparation and service of food and beverages in food service establishments. In the implementation, the system is based upon and takes into account basic pre-requisite programmes (i.e. good hygiene practices) that ensure that premises, equipment, employees, etc, do not contribute to or becom
10、e food safety hazards. Food establishments are diverse and unique in their operations. In using this standard, companies should bear in mind that the standard serves as a guide only. Based on the operation of each establishment and the type of food served, companies may amend and modify the template
11、s and records found in the Supplement to SS 583 : 2013 Guidelines on food safety management for food service establishments, to suit their business operations, while ensuring that food hazards are still managed well. Successful implementation of a food safety management system requires strong manage
12、ment commitment, thorough knowledge of the operations of the establishment and a good understanding of the HACCP concept. When properly implemented, a food safety management system will enable food establishments to ensure that food prepared and served to customers is safe and to reduce the loss of
13、business and reputation arising from customers complaints or food poisoning.

19、 CSIC )SS 583 : 2013 8 COPYRIGHT Guidelines on food safety management for food service establishments 1 Scope and objectives 1.1 Scope This standard is meant for use in the majority of small and medium food service establishments1). It provides the necessary steps to assist companies to set up a bas
20、ic food safety management system based on HACCP principles. The FSMS is to be developed from established good food hygiene and food handling practices as well as any future new practices that will be established. The standard focuses on critical hazards found in a typical food service establishment
21、and measures to control and minimise them. It provides the necessary steps to get started on a FSMS by providing samples of documentation, HACCP plans and guidance on good food hygiene and food handling practices that are keys to food safety in the supplementary document, Supplement to SS 583 : 2013
22、 Guidelines on food safety management for food service establishments. 1.2 Objectives The objectives of the standard are: a) Provide guidance on preparing documentation for a HACCP based food safety management system; b) Provide guidance on good food hygiene and food handling practices for developin
23、g and implementing a food safety management system. 2 Normative references There is no normative reference applied in this Singapore Standard. 3 Definitions For the purpose of this Singapore Standard, the following definitions apply. For terms not defined here, the definitions given in the Singapore
24、 Standard HACCP based food safety management system requirements for any organisation in the food chain2)and Codex Alimentarius: General Principles of Food Hygiene (CAC/RCP 1-1969 Rev 4-2003) or its subsequent updates shall apply. 3.1 Control measure Any action or activity that can be used to preven
25、t or eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level. 3.2 Corrective action Any action to be taken when the results of monitoring at the CCP indicate a loss of control. 1) Food service establishments refer to establishments such as caterers and restaurants serving food at the reta
26、il level. 2) Work in progress as at August 2013. Single user licence only, copying and networking prohibitedWith compliments from SPRING Singapore to China Standards Information Center ( CSIC )SS 583 : 2013 9 COPYRIGHT 3.3 Critical control point (CCP) A step at which control can be applied and is es
27、sential to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level. 3.4 Critical limit A criterion which separates acceptability from unacceptability. NOTE Critical limits are established to determine whether a CCP remains in control. If a critical limit is exceeded or violated
28、, the products affected are deemed to be potentially unsafe. 3.5 Flow diagram A systematic representation of the sequences of steps or operations used in the production or manufacture of a particular food item. 3.6 Food safety Assurance that food is acceptable for human consumption according to its
29、intended use. 3.7 Food safety hazard Biological, chemical or physical agent in food, or condition of food, with the potential to cause an adverse health effect. 3.8 Food safety policy Overall intentions and direction of an organisation related to food safety as formally expressed by top management.
30、3.9 Food service establishment Food service establishment refers to establishments such as caterers and restaurants serving food at the retail level. 3.10 Monitoring The act of executing a planned sequence of observations or measurements of control parameters to assess whether a CCP is under control
31、. 3.11 Pre-requisite programme (PRP) Basic conditions and activities that are necessary to maintain a hygienic environment throughout the food chain suitable for the production, handling and provision of safe food for human consumption. 3.12 Validation Obtaining evidence that the control measures ma
32、naged by the HACCP plan and by the operational PRPs are capable of being effective. 3.13 Verification The application of methods, procedures, tests and other evaluations, in addition to monitoring to determine compliance with the HACCP plan and the PRPs.

34、rinciples and implementation steps with adaptations to suit the local food service establishments. There are two main components in the system (see Figure 1): a) HACCP programme; b) Pre-requisite programmes. Pre-requisite programmes in a food establishment (Good Hygiene Practices) are essential comp
35、onents of a food business and for the development of a FSMS. They should be in place in a food business before a HACCP plan is prepared or strengthened concurrently with the HACCP plan development. In the implementation of the main components, records need to be set up and completed. The development
36、 of the FSMS documentation is in accordance with the sequence below: Figure 1 HACCP programme and pre-requisite programmes development 3)The following steps will follow as closely as possible the application sequence of the HACCP principles based on the Logic Sequence for Application of HACCP - Code
