Free Audit Pack · South Africa

Walk into your food-safety audit ready.

The Free Audit Pack for South African plants: a self-audit checklist that scores you the way a food-safety / veterinary / BRCGS auditor would — plus seven equipment registers an auditor actually asks for, each with the right columns, the correct interval, and who may sign. Built from the gazetted regulations, cited, yours to keep.

Score your audit-readiness first — free, 2 min →

See where you stand before you download — a quick self-score the way an auditor would grade you.

  • ★ Self-audit / audit-readiness checklist

    Run the auditor’s core walk-through on a few random assets before the real audit: PM on-time, records, CAPA/root-cause, tool & foreign-object control, calibration, visibility, hygiene sign-off — each with the auditor’s question, the evidence, the clause, and a Pass / Partial / Fail field.

    7 sections · maps to BRCGS Issue 9 / ISO 22000 / SA Meat Safety Act clauses (confidence-rated).

  • Lifting machinery & tackle — 3 cadences

    Machine 12-month (LMI), ropes/chains/brakes 6-month, and loose lifting tackle 3-month (written-appointed competent person) — three statutory record types in one register.

    Driven Machinery Regulations 2015, reg 18 — GN R.540, GG 38905. [statutory]

  • Temperature-probe calibration  ·  Pressure equipment

    SANAS-traceable probe calibration (abattoir R1072). Steam generators, boilers, vessels & air receivers on the AIA cycle — only steam generators are registered.

    R1072 reg 55(n) / SANAS 17025 · Pressure Equipment Regs 2009 (GG 32395). [statutory]

  • Ladder  ·  Tool  ·  Fire equipment  ·  LEV ventilation

    Ladder condition checklist (GSR 13A). Hand & portable-electric tools (EMR reg 9; wet-area electrical = EMR 8). Fire extinguishers/hose reels (SANS 1475/10105, annual SAQCC). LEV on ammonia refrigeration (HCA Regs 2021, ≤24-month AIA).

    Honestly labelled statutory vs good-practice — ladder & hand-tool intervals are best-practice, not law.
Honest note: a defensible starting point, not legal or certification advice. Every claim carries a confidence rating (HIGH / MEDIUM), and “good practice” is labelled distinctly from “statutory” — e.g. the ladder quarterly interval and hand-tool checks are best-practice, not law; some SANS/BRCGS texts are paywalled (not read verbatim). Verify the specifics for your plant with your AIA / competent person / State Veterinarian.

Citations are drawn from the gazetted regulations (DMR 2015 GN R.540/GG 38905; PER 2009 GN R.734/GG 32395; Red Meat Regs R1072/GG 26779; Measurement Units & Standards Act 18 of 2006). 7Maintain does not warrant regulatory compliance; the templates support your own compliance process.
