ISO 22000 — food safety management

The international standard for Food Safety Management Systems, combining HACCP with a proven management-system structure.

Overview

A whole-supply-chain FSMS

ISO 22000 is the international standard for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). It integrates the HACCP principles with the high-level structure common to standards like ISO 9001, and can be applied by any organisation in the food chain — from producers and manufacturers to caterers, transport and packaging.

The standard combines interactive communication, system management, prerequisite programmes (PRPs) and HACCP into one framework, with a strong emphasis on management responsibility and continual improvement. Certification is independently assessed and recognised internationally.
