ISO 22000
Food safety management systems.
The adoption of a food safety management system (FSMS) is a strategic decision for an organization that can help to improve its overall performance in food safety. The potential benefits to an organization of implementing a FSMS based on this document are:
- The ability to consistently provide safe foods and products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
- Addressing risks associated with its objectives.
- The ability to demonstrate conformity to specified FSMS requirements
All requirements of this document are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations in the food chain, regardless of size and complexity. Organizations that are directly or indirectly involved include, but are not limited to, feed producers, animal food producers, harvesters of wild plants and animals, farmers, producers of ingredients, food manufacturers, retailers, and organizations providing food services, catering services, cleaning and sanitation services, transportation, storage and distribution services, suppliers of equipment, cleaning and disinfectants, packaging materials and other food contact materials.
ISO 22000 sertifikavimas
IISO 22000 certification (also known as “registration”) is a third-party audit performed by a certification body who, upon verification that an organization is in compliance with the requirements of ISO 22000, will issue an ISO 22000 certificate. This certification is then maintained through regularly scheduled annual surveillance audits by the registrar, with re-certification of the Management System performed on a triennial basis.
