ISO 22000 is a globally recognized standard that provides a framework for the implementation of a food safety management system (FSMS). The standard was first published in 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and has since been revised several times, with the latest version being ISO 22000:2018.
ISO 22000 outlines a set of requirements that an organization must meet to establish, implement, maintain, and improve an FSMS. The standard covers all aspects of the food supply chain that could have an impact on food safety, including food production, processing, storage, transportation, and handling.
The goal of ISO 22000 is to help organizations ensure the safety of their food products and to prevent foodborne illness by establishing a systematic approach to food safety management. To be certified to ISO 22000, an organization must undergo an independent audit by a third-party certification body to demonstrate compliance with the standard's requirements.
ISO 22000 certification can bring numerous benefits to an organization, including:
Overall, ISO 22000 can help organizations ensure the safety of their food products, comply with food safety regulations and laws, and achieve their food safety objectives.
UMS evaluates your documentation and company records
UMS reviews the compliance against the standard requirements.
Non-conformances identified during the audit require closures.
UMS issues the certification and certification mark.
Annual audit required to maintain certification validity.
ISO 22000 is an internationally recognized standard for food safety management systems. It provides a framework for organizations in the food industry to manage food safety hazards and ensure the safety of their products.
The benefits of implementing ISO 22000 include improved food safety, compliance with regulations, reduced risks of foodborne illnesses, enhanced reputation and stakeholder trust, and increased efficiency.
Any organization in the food industry, regardless of size or type of operation, can implement ISO 22000 if it wants to manage food safety hazards and ensure the safety of its products.
The time it takes to implement ISO 22000 depends on the size and complexity of the organization and the scope of its food safety management system. It can take anywhere from several months to a year or more.
The process for becoming ISO 22000 certified involves implementing a food safety management system, conducting internal audits and management reviews, and undergoing a third-party audit by a certification body. If the organization meets the requirements of the standard, it will be issued an ISO 22000 certificate.
ISO 22000 certification lasts for three years. During this time, the organization must undergo surveillance audits to ensure that it continues to comply with the standard.
The cost of ISO 22000 certification varies depending on the size and complexity of the organization, the scope of the food safety management system, and the certification body used. It can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.
Yes, ISO 22000 can be integrated with other management systems, such as ISO 9001 for quality management or ISO 14001 for environmental management. This can result in a more efficient and effective management system that addresses multiple aspects of an organization's operations.
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety system that focuses on identifying and controlling hazards in the production process. ISO 22000 is a food safety management system that provides a broader framework for managing food safety hazards throughout the entire food supply chain. ISO 22000 incorporates the principles of HACCP but also includes requirements for management commitment, communication, and continual improvement.
