ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Certification

WHAT IS ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 is an international standard designed to ensure food supply chain safety worldwide, enabling organisations to demonstrate their ability to control food safety hazards and ensure that food is safe for human consumption.

ISO 22000 certification demonstrates that robust and effective food safety management systems are in place, and can be used as first step to fulfil the requirements of schemes recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

ISO 22000 AUDIT PROCESS & CERTIFICATION

TÜV SÜD is accredited to audit and certify companies to ISO 22000, working closely with clients to ensure that the requirements and standards are met. The three-year audit cycle includes two surveillance audits.

The audit process includes a site inspection, as well as an assessment of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) systems, prerequisite programmes, and relevant documentation and processes. TÜV SÜD’s auditors will also interview operators and responsible persons within the company, in order to assess food safety knowledge.
