This unit of competency is relevant to experienced technical officers who may work individually or as part of a team. Members of a HACCP team contribute a range of expertise and relevant technical support. They would normally share responsibilities for the development of a HACCP plan.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. However, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements for laboratory operations exist, so local requirements should be checked.
