ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System

ISO 22000:2018 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) and serves as the basis for ISO 22000 certification. The standard outlines what organizations need to do to demonstrate their ability to control food safety hazards and ensure the safety of food products throughout the entire food supply chain, from farm to fork. This management system can be applied to any organization involved in the food chain, regardless of its size, type, or location.

The ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System is built on the following key elements:

  • Interactive communication throughout the food supply chain
  • System management
  • Prerequisite Programs (PRPs)
  • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles

ISO 22000 Consulting & Certification Process at SQS Global

In practice, many organizations face challenges when implementing ISO 22000 due to limited experience in developing a Food Safety Management System, incomplete documentation, or a lack of understanding of certification requirements. These challenges can lead to delays, increased costs, and a lower likelihood of achieving certification on the first audit.

As a trusted ISO 22000 certification body, SQS Global has supported numerous organizations across the food industry. We provide end-to-end support, including system development, documentation preparation, personnel training, implementation guidance, audit readiness, and certification assessment.

With an experienced team of experts and a structured certification process, SQS Global helps organizations streamline implementation, optimize costs, and strengthen food safety management in accordance with ISO 22000 requirements.

SQS Global conducts an initial assessment to evaluate:

  • Business operations and activities
  • Food production and supply chain processes
  • Applicable legal and regulatory requirements
  • Customer expectations and target market requirements
  • The organization’s current level of compliance with ISO 22000 requirements

Based on the assessment results, the scope of the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) and the implementation roadmap will be defined to ensure an effective and practical certification process.

Organizations are guided in establishing:

  • Food safety policy and objectives
  • Prerequisite Programs (PRPs)
  • HACCP plan
  • Operational control procedures
  • Risk and opportunity management processes
  • Documented information and management system documentation in accordance with ISO 22000:2018 requirements

The system is developed to align with the organization’s actual operations, ensuring effective implementation and readiness for certification assessment.

SQS Global provides ISO 22000 awareness and implementation training for relevant personnel and supports the organization in applying the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) in daily operations.

During this stage, the organization is guided in controlling production processes, establishing operational control measures, managing CCPs and OPRPs, maintaining operational records, and strengthening communication throughout the food supply chain to ensure the effective and consistent implementation of the FSMS.

Following the implementation period, SQS Global conducts:

  • Internal audits
  • Compliance reviews
  • Evaluation of control effectiveness
  • Support for addressing nonconformities

The objective of this stage is to ensure that the Food Safety Management System operates effectively and is fully prepared for the certification audit.

SQS Global conducts a certification audit of the organization’s Food Safety Management System (FSMS) in accordance with ISO 22000:2018 requirements.

Upon successful completion of the audit and fulfillment of all certification requirements, the organization will be awarded an ISO 22000 certificate by SQS Global.

After certification, organizations are required to maintain internal audits, operational controls, and continual improvement activities to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the Food Safety Management System and compliance with periodic surveillance audits.

**Note:

The ISO 22000 certificate is valid for three (3) years from the date of issue. During this period, organizations must maintain and operate their Food Safety Management System in accordance with ISO 22000 requirements.

At the end of the certification cycle, organizations must undergo a recertification audit to renew their ISO 22000 certification and maintain its validity.
