Being a producer of dried fruits and spices I am in contact with hundreds of importers. Most of them has now Quality Management Systems. In the past this was operated according to ISO 9000 standards but nowadays this has gone far away. Now BRS , IFS , FSSC requirements are beyond expectations.
Quality Managers are just looking to all articles in the standard and try to addapt themseleves to be certified. Needless to say these procedures have overcome the purpose of the controls.
Latelay I have been filling 28 page self approval questionnaire. Needless to say it was prepared by an obsessed quality manager.
- Is there a weight control in your process ? YES
- Do you calibrate ? YES
- How often ? YEARLY
- What if the scale got rotten meantime ? WE CHECK DAILY WITH ETALONS
Than you have to calibrate your etalons as well. Than you need your quality manager be educated on calibration.
There is no end to these questions?
At the end what is the risk of uncalibrated scales ? There is no any health risk at all. If you encounter any problem either you complaint and reject.
There is no way to comply with all the requirements. If anybody is able to succeed to do it its price will be sky high and nobody can pay. The system will be unsustainable.
