The requirement that applies today
The fourth Codex principle, at step 9, is to establish a monitoring system for each CCP. The current edition maps it to the monitoring systems subclause of the hazard control plan, which sets out what is measured, how, how often, by whom and with what device.
ISO/DIS 22000:2026, Annex A 8, Codex principle 4 and step 9: monitor each CCP.
What the draft does
Mapped in the current Annex A to 8.5.4.3; the 2026 table is sold by ISO and not held here: The 2026 contents keep the monitoring subclause at the same number and title. The destination is read from the current table and that title, not from the published 2026 Annex A.

Why this clause matters
Monitoring has to be fast enough to hold product before release. A result that arrives after dispatch is verification, not control. The 2026 contents keep the subclause on monitoring at CCPs and for OPRPs.
Suggested evidence to discuss with your auditor
For A.8, these are the artefacts we suggest discussing with your auditor. The standard publishes no evidence list, so this is our reading, not a requirement.
- A monitoring schedule with frequency, method, device and owner
- Calibration or verification of the devices
- Evidence that the time frame allows a hold before release
Where systems usually fall short
- Frequency chosen for convenience
- Observation checks with no written standard
How to prepare
For one CCP, trace a result to the decision it enabled. If product had already moved, redesign the frequency or the hold point.
