ISO 22000 |
Internationally in the individual countries many HACCP standards have been developed. All these standards have different levels and different levels of auditing. Eventually HACCP certificates are issued of which the level of the certification differs substantially from one to another. ISO 22000 has been specifically developed to harmonize all those individual standards. ISO 22000 is officially available since September 2005.
ISO 22000 specifies requirements for a food safety management system where an organization in the food chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption. 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 ISO 22000 can be accomplished through the use of internal and/or external resources.
The ISO 22000 standard emphasizes on certification requirements for HACCP and will further contribute to the standardization and harmonization of the HACCP systems worldwide. The standard also includes Prerequisite programmes (Hygiene and GMP), System management (ISO 9000 approach) and interactive communication along the food chain.
ISO 22000 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
to demonstrate compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory food safety requirements
to evaluate and assess customer requirements and demonstrate conformity with those mutually agreed customer requirements that relate to food safety, in order to enhance customer satisfaction
to effectively communicate food safety issues to their suppliers, customers and relevant interested parties in the food chain
to ensure that the organization conforms to its stated food safety policy,
to demonstrate such conformity to relevant interested parties
to seek certification or registration of its food safety management system by an external organization, or make a self-assessment or self-declaration of conformity to ISO 22000.
The deliverables of ISO 22000 are:
The standard can be used as the basis of any food safety management system, with or without 3rd party certification

. It includes Prerequisite programmes ( Hygiene and GMP)
. HACCP ( Hazard Analysis) is included
. System management (ISO 9000 approach)
. Interactive communication along the food chains
