Summary
In short
- A haccp verification record is a record used in KnowQuality that confirms the HACCP plan is being followed and still works. It is built against Codex, SQF 2.4 and forms part of the HACCP and Food Safety programme.
- Run on the schedule set in the plan, and after any change. Carried out by the food safety lead.
- The template holds 49 fields across 6 sections.
- Scoring is verification percent, where high is good.
- SQF is safe Quality Food. A GFSI recognised certification scheme. Module 2 covers system elements, module 11 good manufacturing practice.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links HACCP Plan.
What it is
What it is
What is a haccp verification record?
A haccp verification record is a record used in KnowQuality that confirms the HACCP plan is being followed and still works. It is built against Codex, SQF 2.4 and forms part of the HACCP and Food Safety programme.
When is a haccp verification record completed?
A haccp verification record is completed at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Run on the schedule set in the plan, and after any change.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form HV-2026-000
- You are running the HACCP and Food Safety programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links haccp plan
Not for
- HACCP Plan, which the hazard analysis and critical control point plan for a product or process.
- CCP Monitoring Log, which records readings at a critical control point, such as cook temperature, chill time or metal detection.
- Prerequisite Programme Plan, which sets out the basic conditions that must be in place for HACCP to work, covering hygiene, maintenance, pest control and training.
- Anything outside KnowQuality, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the haccp verification record template based on?+
It is built against Codex, SQF 2.4. SQF is safe Quality Food. A GFSI recognised certification scheme. Module 2 covers system elements, module 11 good manufacturing practice. Codex is codex Alimentarius. International food standards and the source of the seven HACCP principles.
What sections does the haccp verification record contain?+
There are 6 sections: header, record review, on site verification, validation of limits, supporting evidence, result. Together they hold 49 fields, 43 of which are required.
How often is a haccp verification record raised?+
A new record is raised at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Each one is given an ID in the form HV-2026-000, so it can be traced and referenced from other records.
Which programme does the haccp verification record belong to?+
It is part of HACCP and Food Safety. A HACCP system an auditor can follow from hazard to record without asking a single question.
How is a haccp verification record scored?+
Scoring is verification percent. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the haccp verification record template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the haccp verification record library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowQuality — quality and food safety. HACCP, nonconformance, traceability, laboratory and customer complaints.
