A

14、2014).Most of the guidance provided herein is qualitative rather thanquantitative, although quantitative methods should be appliedto any hazard analysis when possible. Uncertainties associatedwith the analysis should also be characterized and incorporatedinto the HACCP evaluation when possible (see,
15、 for example,(11, 27-38).1.6 This standard provides guidance for assessing hazardwithin a generalized framework that may be extended tospecific environmental settings, such as that detailed in E1023for aquatic habitats (Guide for Assessing the Hazard of aMaterial to Aquatic Organisms and Their Uses)

32、al Control Point (HACCP) evalu-ation has become increasingly applied to natural resourcemanagement and 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
33、be an integral part of man-agement practices focused on engineering or resource manage-ment practices 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.HACCPis a systematic and p
34、reventive approach that addressesbiological, chemical and physical hazards through anticipationand prevention, 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
35、managing risks and safety concernsassociated with a wide range of materials, products, and3For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.

This standardcould be used in conjunction with existing ASTM standardssuch as Guides E1023 and E2348. HACCP emphasizes controlof a process as far upstream in the p
37、rocessing system aspossible by utilizing operator 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.
38、The identification of specifichazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety ofa process, material, or product through prevention and reducesthe reliance on end-product inspection and testing (forexample, for agrichemicals), remedial measures (for example,related to construction practic
39、es), or mitigation measures aspart of a control program (for example, quarantine or disinfec-tion for control of invasive species) are integral components ofany HACCPsystem.Any HACCPsystem should be capable ofaccommodating change, such as advances in equipment designor developing alternative resourc
40、e management practices,changes in processing 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
41、and characterized through astepwise evaluation 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 availab
42、le data related to the hazard and theprocess generating that hazard may be judged as being 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 un
43、til the hazard is adequately characterizedand CCPs are characterized in order to reduce likelihood thathazard is realized.4.3 Three annexes are also included with this standardguide.4.3.1 Annex A1 focuses on implementation of HACCPwithin the context of natural resource management, principallythat pr

This annex summarizes extension of the generalguidance contained within the standard guide to a specificapplication of the HACCP pr

The relationships between the generalized HACCPprocess summarized in the standard guide and its specificimplementation in this annex should be co
46、nsidered in adaptingHACCPplans to changing environmental conditions that mightdevelop and alter hazards through time. Tasks outlined in thestandard guide have been variously incorporated into theimplementation-specific five-step HACCPprocess summarizedin this annex.Additionally, in recognizing the d
