If our establishment currently complies with the structural requirements under the Export Control (Processed Food) Orders 2005 – will it continue to comply under the new Orders?
It is likely that your structure will continue to comply – however your premises will be re-audited for compliance with Schedule 3 of the new Orders as part of the approval process when you apply for an Approved Arrangement. – Additionally, to meet the requirements of the AA, you will be required to have procedures in place to regularly verify that you continue to meet the structural requirements of the Orders, and that the results of verification are documented. (For example, you may choose to conduct regular internal audits of your premises against the requirements of Schedule 3 and keep records documenting that this has been carried out and that any repairs or maintenance have been carried out as required).
