It is applicable to all organizations, regardless of size, which are involved in any aspect of the food chain and want to implement systems that consistently provide safe products. The means of meeting any requirements of this international standard can be accomplished through the use of internal and/or external resources. this international standard iso 22000 certification specifies requirements to enable an organization to plan, implement, operate, maintain and update a food safety management system aimed at providing products that, according to their intended use, are safe for the consumer. iso 22000: 2005 certification is built around seven principles • analysis of food hazards: biological, chemical or physical • identification of critical control points: raw materials, storage, processing, distribution and consumption • establishment of critical control limits and preventive measures: for example, minimum cooking temperature and time • monitoring of these critical control points • establishment of corrective actions • keeping records • systematic and regular auditing of the system in place by independent third party certification bodies benefits of iso 22000:2005 certification implementing iso 22000 will bring the following benefits to your organization : • an auditable standard with clear requirements which provides a framework for third-party certification • suitable for regulators • the structure aligns with the management system clauses of iso 9001 and iso 14001 • enables communication about hazards with partners in the supply chain • system approach, rather than product approach • applicable to all organizations in the global food supply chain • systematic management of prerequisite programmes • increased due diligence • dynamic communication on food safety issues with suppliers, customers, regulators and other interested parties signifies that it is a truly global international standard • provides potential for harmonization of national standards • covers the majority of the requirements of the current retailer food safety standards.

Iso 27001 is the actual standard to which certification is measured. It sets out the requirements for an information security management system (isms). An isms is a systematic approach to managing the security of sensitive information - encompassing people, processes, it systems and policy. an iso 27001 certificate demonstrates that you have taken necessary precautions to protect sensitive information against unauthorized access and changes. Iso 27001 certificates are issued by a third party certification body and proves that your information security management system has been certified against a best practice standard and found compliant. iso 27001 is the only auditable international standard which defines the requirements for an information security management system (isms). The standard is designed to ensure the selection of adequate and proportionate security controls. this helps you to protect your information assets and give confidence to any interested parties, especially your customers. The standard adopts a process approach for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving isms. benefits of implementing iso 27001:2005 certification a valuable framework for resolving security issues enhancement of the credibility of any company risk management in security implementation enhancement of security awareness in an organization assists in the developing best practices reduces possibility of or any other risk getting new business opportunities.

Iso 22000 / haccp is premier food safety management system standard used throughout the world in food industry. It is a preventive quality management system designed for providing intensified controlling and monitoring during important processes of food suppliers that helps to improve their food safety and quality but is also able to make profits through cost reduction and reduced rejections. haccp is built around seven principles analysis of food hazards: biological, chemical or physical identification of critical control points: raw materials, storage, processing, distribution and consumption establishment of critical control limits and preventive measures: for example, minimum cooking temperature and time monitoring of these critical control points establishment of corrective actions keeping records establishing a systematic and regular auditing of the system in place by independent third party certification bodies. benefits of implementing haccp haccp can be applied throughout the food chain from the primary producer to final consumer : haccp reduces the need for finished product testing by identifying the hazards associated with the inputs into the process and the product and devising control measures which can be monitored in order to minimize or eliminate the hazards. haccp will significantly reduce the chance of microbiological, chemical, and physical contaminants from reaching the customer. haccp can reduce regulatory involvement (and hence costs) by replacing on-line inspection with regular auditing. haccp principles can be applied to other aspects of food quality and regulatory requirements. haccp improves communications between supplier and customer. It encourages businesses to work together more closely. haccp is capable of accommodating changes such as advances in raw materials, equipment and premise design, procedures, and technological developments. it improves customer confidence leads to increased market share.

For the exporter, therefore, europe as a whole has become a market whose technical requirements have been greatly simplified. Before the creation of the european union, each country imposed its own technical requirements. Different standards and conformity assessment procedures forced exporters to target one or two countries only, or to forego exporting to europe altogether. The unification of these european countries into a european union, and the consequent harmonization of laws, standards, and conformity assessment procedures, changed all that. perhaps more importantly, iso 9001 certification is used extensively in europe as a condition of acceptance of a manufacturer's product or as a means of recognition of the manufacturer's credibility. It is important to note that a manufacturer with a quality system in place (such as iso 9001 qms) should not automatically assume that his or her products are ce compliant because of the quality system alone. The appropriate new approach directive(s) will prescribe the correct and full route to conformity assessment. the ce mark, which is affixed to a product or its packaging, is considered a proof that the product has met the requirements of the harmonized european standard, or directives; refers to communauté european. Translated from the french, this literally means european community. The european commission, which administers the program, describes the ce mark as a passport for goods to be sold freely within the internal european market. It is required by law if the product falls under one of the new approach directives. It is not a quality mark, nor is it a mark for consumers. Intended for member state authorities, it is the visible sign to those authorities that your product is in compliance with the new approach directives. All manufacturers are required to affix the ce mark to products that are governed by new approach directives. Ce marking on a product indicates to all authorities that the product is in compliance with the essential health and safety requirements of all directives that apply to the product. The first step to compliance is determining which directives apply to the product. A product may be regulated by more than one directive. The ce mark does not disclose which directive(s) or standards apply to the product, nor will it indicate the method of conformity assessment used to bring the product into compliance. This information is provided by other accompanying documents, such as the declaration of conformity. The manufacturer or the authorized representative affixes the ce marking to the product. It is not affixed by a notified body.

W.h.o. Defines good manufacturing practices (gmp) as "that part of quality assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization". Gmp covers all aspects of the manufacturing process: defined manufacturing process; validated critical manufacturing steps; suitable premises, storage, transport; qualified and trained production and quality control personnel; adequate laboratory facilities; approved written procedures and instructions; records to show all steps of defined procedures taken; full traceability of a product through batch processing records and distribution records; and systems for recall and investigation of complaints. the guiding principle of gmp is that quality is built into a product, and not just tested into a finished product. Therefore, the assurance is that the product not only meets the final specifications, but that it has been made by the same procedures under the same conditions each and every time it is made. There are many ways this is controlled - controlling the quality of the facility and its systems, controlling the quality of the starting materials, controlling the quality of production at all stages, controlling the quality of the testing of the product, controlling the identity of materials by adequate labeling and segregation, controlling the quality of materials and product by adequate storage, etc. All of these controls must follow prescribed, formal, approved procedures, written as protocols, sops, or master formulae, describing all the tasks carried out in an entire manufacturing and control process. gmp covers all aspects of the manufacturing process including : • defined manufacturing process • validated critical manufacturing steps • suitable premises, storage, transport, qualified and trained production and quality control personnel • adequate laboratory facilities • approved written procedures and instructions • records to show all steps of defined procedures have been taken • full traceability of a product through batch records and distribution records • systems for recall and investigation of complaints.

Reasons for food being non-kosher include the presence of ingredients derived from non-kosher animals or from kosher animals that were not properly slaughtered, a mixture of meat and milk, or grape juice (or their derivatives) produced without supervision, the use of produce from israel that has not been tithed or even the use of cooking utensils and machinery which had previously been used for non-kosher food. for kosher certification, kosher consultancy, kosher documentation, please contact us for further information. The word "kosher" can also be used, and often is used, to describe ritual objects that are made in accordance with jewish law and are fit for ritual use. Though jewish dietary law is very complex, we have given below some general simplified guidelines:- • certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals. • of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with jewish law. • all blood must be drained out from meat and poultry or broiled out of it before it is eaten. • certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten. • fruits and vegetables are permitted, but must be inspected for bugs (which cannot be eaten) • meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (according to some views, fish may not be eaten with meat). • utensils (including pots and pans and other cooking surfaces) that have come into contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. This applies only where the contact occurred while the food was hot. • grape products made by non-jews may not be eaten.
