Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Exam 3 Practice

Implementation records are the documents that prove a facility has put preventive controls in place and is operating them as intended. Monitoring records for preventive controls are exactly that: they capture the ongoing checks showing the control is being performed, the results, and any deviations, providing evidence that the control was implemented and is functioning.

Maintenance logs reflect equipment upkeep, not the actual execution of the preventive controls. Internal memos are communications or decisions, not records of control performance. Customer complaints are inputs that can lead to corrective actions but do not themselves document the implementation of the controls.
