ISO 22000 Certification Service

What is ISO 22000:2018?
ISO 22000:2018 is an internationally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). It is designed for all organizations in the food chain—from farm to fork—to ensure that food products are safe for consumption. The standard combines key elements of ISO 9001 with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles to help organizations identify, control, and prevent food safety hazards throughout the supply chain.

ISO 22000 – Overview
ISO 22000:2018 provides a structured framework to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a food safety management system. It applies to any organization directly or indirectly involved in the food supply process, including food manufacturers, processors, packaging units, transportation providers, storage facilities, and retailers. The standard ensures consistent delivery of safe food products, enhances traceability, and builds confidence among stakeholders and end consumers.

ISO 22000:2018 Key Requirements
Develop a food safety policy aligned with legal and customer requirements.
Conduct hazard analysis to identify food safety risks at each stage of the supply chain.
Establish prerequisite programs (PRPs) and operational prerequisite programs (OPRPs).
Implement an effective traceability and recall system.
Monitor critical control points (CCPs) with defined limits and procedures.
Document procedures for emergency preparedness and response.
Ensure top management involvement and communication across departments.
Regularly review and update the FSMS through internal audits and management reviews.

Training and System Implementation Support
Organizations seeking ISO 22000:2018 certification must adopt a process approach that integrates risk-based thinking and communication throughout the food safety system. Staff must be trained in hygiene practices, hazard control, documentation, and corrective actions. A well-established FSMS fosters food safety culture and ensures that everyone in the organization understands their responsibilities.
