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

What should organizations prepare for ISO 22000 certification?

This includes preparing the necessary documentation, implementing food safety controls, and ensuring effective management of food safety risks across operations.

Documentation & Records

  • Food safety policy, objectives, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  • Quality control, hazard control, and traceability records
  • Food hygiene and sanitation records, pest control records, and temperature monitoring logs
  • Employee training records and competency evaluation related to ISO 22000 requirements
  • Legal and regulatory documents required for food production and business operations

Facilities & Personnel Readiness

Organizations should ensure that production facilities, processing areas, and equipment are properly designed and maintained to prevent cross-contamination and comply with food safety requirements.

ISO 22000 Consulting & Certification Audit Support Process at SQS Global

Many organizations face challenges when implementing ISO 22000 due to limited experience in developing a Food Safety Management System (FSMS), incomplete documentation, or a lack of understanding of certification audit requirements. These challenges can delay implementation, increase costs, and reduce the likelihood of achieving certification at the initial audit.

As a trusted ISO 22000 consulting and certification support provider, SQS Global delivers end-to-end implementation services-from system development and personnel training to audit preparation and coordination with accredited certification bodies. With experienced consultants and a structured implementation approach, we help organizations optimize time and costs while improving the effectiveness of their Food Safety Management System 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 management system is designed to align with the organization’s operations, comply with ISO 22000 requirements, and prepare for the certification audit.

SQS Global provides ISO 22000 awareness training for relevant personnel and supports the organization in implementing the management system in daily operations.

During this stage, organizations receive guidance on production control, traceability, CCP/OPRP monitoring, documented information management, and communication throughout the food chain to ensure the FSMS is implemented consistently and effectively.

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.

Once the organization has fully implemented the management system and met the ISO 22000 requirements, SQS Global assists with preparing audit documentation, coordinating with the accredited certification body, and supporting the organization throughout the certification audit process.

After achieving ISO 22000 certification, SQS Global continues to support organizations in maintaining and continually improving their Food Safety Management System through periodic internal audits, updates on new standard requirements, and preparation for surveillance and recertification audits.

**Note:

An ISO 22000 certificate is valid for three years from the date of issuance. During this period, organizations are required to maintain and operate their Food Safety Management System (FSMS) in accordance with ISO 22000 requirements and successfully complete the required surveillance audits to maintain the validity of the certification.

Upon expiry of the certification, organizations must undergo a recertification audit to maintain their ISO 22000 certification. Depending on their industry and products, organizations may also be required to comply with applicable food safety regulations and statutory requirements issued by the relevant authorities.
