Quick answer
Zones are physically separated by material risk: approved halal materials, pending goods, nonconforming stock, chemicals and cleaning tools each get an area and color code, with signs for category, status and owner. Shared-line plants add a locked non-halal cage. Shoot from fixed positions with a wide shot and a sign close-up, named by zone number and date. A Jinhua meat-products maker matches each zone number to its ledger, so auditors can verify by following the map.
Detailed explanation
Basic zoning and labeling requirements
- Floor lines or physical partitions separate pending, approved, nonconforming and returned-goods areas.
- Every location carries a material card: name, batch, supplier, status and date.
- Chemicals and cleaning agents stay in a locked cabinet, physically separated from materials.
- The non-halal zone or cabinet is locked, with the key held by the halal supervisor.
How to file photos
- One wide shot per zone showing lines, signs and neighboring areas.
- One close-up of each sign with legible text.
- Name files with zone number and shoot date, filed by warehouse position code.
- Reshoot after layout changes; mark old photos with an obsolete date but keep them.
Two often-missed points
Frame ceiling and pipe leak marks and corner pest traces as evidence of storage conditions, and take cleaning photos of trucks and container interiors before loading, filed with dispatch records.
