The starting point

The certification auditor has a checklist. Now so do you.

The HACCP (Codex Alimentarius) certification audit tests your HACCP food safety plan against the full standard. Going in without a self-assessment means discovering gaps in front of the auditor. This file lets you audit yourself first, close the gaps, and walk in ready.

File structure

Four tabs that work together

1

Dashboard

Overall conformity rate, number of open gaps, breakdown by status. Everything updates as you fill in the checklist.

2

Detailed checklist

One row per requirement: the point to check, the expected evidence, the owner and a status drop-down.

3

Summary

Charts generated from your entries: score by clause and status breakdown, ready to present to management.

4

Action plan

Each gap becomes a dated, assigned action, tracked to closure and ready for your audit.

Free vs complete

What the free list doesn’t give you

A free requirements list tells you what the standard asks. This checklist turns it into a working control tool.

How it works

Three steps, from where you are to done

Step 1

You self-assess

You test your system against every requirement the auditor will check, and score your readiness.

Step 2

You close gaps

Each weak point becomes a dated, assigned action so nothing is open on audit day.

Step 3

You certify

You walk into the certification audit prepared, with the evidence organized and the gaps closed.

Self-assessment → Close gaps → Certification audit → Certificate

FAQ

What to know before you buy

Does this checklist replace the HACCP documentation kit?
No. The checklist diagnoses your gaps and structures your action plan. To provide the documents that close those gaps, the HACCP documentation kit takes over.
What format is the checklist delivered in?
An Excel (.xlsx) file, downloadable immediately after purchase. It works offline; you keep it and reuse it as often as you need.
Does the conformity score calculate itself?
Yes. You pick a status per requirement from a drop-down, and the dashboard and charts update automatically.
Which version is it built on?
The version in force, HACCP (Codex Alimentarius), shown on the cover.
Will this guarantee I pass the audit?
No tool can guarantee a result, but self-assessing against every requirement the auditor checks — and closing the gaps first — is the single best way to remove surprises on audit day.
