Critical Control Point (CCP)

« Back to Glossary Index

A Critical Control Point (CCP) in the manufacturing process represents a specific step or stage where control measures are strategically applied to prevent, eliminate, or mitigate hazards, risks, or potential quality deviations that could adversely affect product safety, integrity, or compliance. Identified through thorough hazard analysis and risk assessment, CCPs are pivotal for maintaining the safety and quality of products. Implementing control measures at these points involves rigorous monitoring, verification, corrective actions, and comprehensive documentation to ensure ongoing process control, hazard prevention, and adherence to regulatory standards, ultimately safeguarding product efficacy and safety.
