    Dear all,

    The wording 'glass policy' is not part of, and can not be found in the EU Hygiene
    Regulations, but 'glass' must of course be explicidly addressed in the PRP & HACCP
    study.

    Addressing the hazard of contaminating the product by glass is mandatory:

    1) in the PRP: glass from (wrist) watches, drinking bottles/cups, jewelry, devices, clocks,
    windows,

    2) in HACCP: where glass is used as primary packaging.

    What is described below is part of some Food (safety) Standards (like BRC).

    Regards

    Jan

    Hi Shrivastav,

    A glass policy shall be written and implemented. The policy shall state that no glass is to be used in
    the facility, except where absolutely necessary (like eyewear, MIG thermometer). The policy shall also
    state that no glass shall be brought into the facility in employees’ personal effects. Included in the
    policy shall be a procedure for handling any glass that is broken in the facility. In addition, a list of all
    essential glass should be compiled and the items on the list checked on a regular basis to ensure that
    any accidental breakage is noted.

    The policy is same whether it is EUor USFDA. Its a part of pre-requisite program.
