What is the ISO 22000 standard?
The ISO 22000 standard is a set of international standards issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), developed particularly based on the recommendations of the Codex Commission, an organisation specialising in food safety established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1963. This standard was first launched in 2005 to provide a globally recognised food safety management system (FSMS) framework.
The latest version of ISO 22000, the 2018 version, was published in 2018. This was an important update that introduced new requirements and guidance to improve the performance and effectiveness of food safety management systems.
The ISO 22000 standard sets out requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining an effective food safety management system, including aspects such as hazard identification, hazard management and the establishment of critical control points. The ultimate goal of ISO 22000 is to ensure the safety and suitability of food from production through to final consumption, helping to protect consumers’ health.
What standards does ISO 22000 include?
The ISO 22000 family of standards includes a range of core standards designed to support organisations in managing food safety and ensuring the conformity of food products throughout the supply chain. The following are the standards in the ISO 22000 family:
-
ISO 22000:2018: This is the main standard for food safety management systems, applicable to all organisations in the food supply chain. It sets out requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining an effective food safety management system.
-
ISO 22001: Guidance on applying ISO 22000, with requirements similar to those of ISO 9001, focusing on establishing and maintaining a quality management system.
-
ISO/TS 22002-1 to ISO/TS 22002-4: These standards provide food safety prerequisite programmes for specific types of activities in the food supply chain, including production, catering, farming and food packaging.
-
ISO/TS 22003 and ISO/TS 22004: These provide guidance and guidance on applying ISO 22000, offering detailed instructions on how to implement and maintain a food safety management system.
-
ISO 22005: This standard focuses on traceability in the food supply chain, ensuring the ability to identify and track the origin of food ingredients.
-
ISO 22006: Guidance on applying ISO 9002:2000 to crop production, creating a quality management system for crop production.
The ISO 22000 standard is not only an international standard for food safety but also an important tool for ensuring the safety and conformity of food throughout the global supply chain. The transition from HACCP systems to ISO 22000 is becoming an important trend among organisations in Vietnam, helping to improve food safety management and meet international requirements.
