Rule 1:

It is possible to handle products from both non-certified and certified processes in the same product handling facility provided that the outcome of both processes is segregated at all times. Consequently, one product handling facility can host several PHUs.

Please use the arrows to navigate up and down.

Rule 2:

One PHU can host more than one handling process (e.g. product handling of strawberries and blueberries).

Rule 3:

One PHU cannot host the handling processes of the same certified and non-certified product. However as the PHU is purely an organizational concept, both handling processes can be carried out in the same product handling facility.

Rule 4:

Multi-site producers without QMS can aggregate product handling facilities of different sites in one PHU.

Multi-site producers with QMS shall specify one PHU for each site.
