18、ion All manufacturers of food packaging recognize the increasing need to demonstrate and provide adequate evidence of their ability to identify and control hygiene hazards related to their products. Packaging hygiene is a joint responsibility that is principally assured through the combined efforts
19、of all the parties participating in the chain. Communication along the food packaging chain is essential to ensure that all relevant packaging hygiene hazards are identified and adequately controlled. This European Standard is based on the principles of hazard analysis and risk assessment. This Euro
20、pean Standard provides for the definition of the appropriate level of controls and measures for each stage in the manufacturing process. The most effective food packaging hygiene systems are designed, operated and updated within the framework of a structured management system and incorporated into t
21、he overall management activities of the organization. This provides maximum benefit for the organization and interested parties. This European Standard has taken due consideration of the provisions of the EN ISO 9000 series in order to enhance the compatibility of the two standards. This European St
22、andard may be applied independently from other management system standards. Its implementation can be aligned or integrated with existing related management system requirements while organizations may utilize existing management system(s) to establish a food packaging hygiene management system that
23、complies with the requirements of this European Standard. This European Standard is a document describing both management system and hygiene practices for packaging manufacturers considering themselves as an organization within the food chain as described in EN ISO 22000. This European Standard does
24、 not purport to address the compulsory conformity of packaging to food contact regulations. It is expected that the user of this European Standard has knowledge of applicable food contact regulations. BS EN 15593:2008EN 15593:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for a hyg
25、iene management system for manufacturers and suppliers of food packaging including storage and transportation. This European Standard enables an organization to: plan, design, implement, operate, maintain and update a hazard analysis and risk assessment system that ensures the production of food pac
26、kaging materials conforming with the hygiene requirements; demonstrate conformity with agreed customers hygiene requirements; demonstrate the effectiveness of the system; help food manufacturers to provide adequate evidence to compliance with food and packaging safety regulations; ensure that it com
27、plies with its stated hygiene policy; demonstrate such compliance to other interested parties; seek registration or certification of its food packaging hygiene management system by an external organization. This European Standard can be applied to all organizations wishing to implement an adequate a
28、nd effective hygiene management system in the field of food packaging manufacturing including producers and suppliers of materials and services to the packaging manufacturers. It is intended that this European Standard be applied in conjunction with a quality management system such as EN ISO 9001. I
29、t may be appropriate to apply this European Standard to other articles and items coming into contact with food and to packaging of products other than food. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
