(a)that critical points in the establishment relative to the process used are identified and acceptable to the enforcement authority; and
(b)that methods for monitoring and controlling such critical points are established and acceptable to the enforcement authority; and
(c)if samples are taken for the purpose of checking cleaning and disinfection or for the purpose of checking compliance with the standards prescribed in Schedule 1, Part II paragraph A.1, that they are analysed or examined as appropriate in a laboratory acceptable to the enforcement authority; and
(d)that as far as is reasonable and practicable a record in permanent form is kept and made available to an authorised officer of the enforcement authority upon request, and is kept in respect of the matters specified in sub-paragraphs (a) to (c) above for a period of at least two years; in the case of meat products which cannot be stored at an ambient temperature, the period may be reduced to 6 months after the minimum durability date of the product; and
(e)that health marking is controlled and carried out properly; and
(f)hat the enforcement authority is notified immediately when a laboratory examination of samples or any other information at the occupier’s disposal reveals a health risk; and
(g)in the event of an imminent health risk, the withdrawal from the market of the quantity of products obtained under technologically similar conditions and likely to present the same risk; any quantity of the products so withdrawn shall be held under the supervision and control of the enforcement authority until it is destroyed, used for purposes other than human consumption, or, with the agreement of the enforcement authority, reprocessed in a manner appropriate to ensure it is safe for human consumption.
