ISO 22000 Certification

ISO 22000 - Food Safety Management System Certification

Food safety is a joint responsibility of all parties participating in the food chain. The ISO 22000 standard is focused on the development, implementation and improvement of a Food Safety Management System. Those who are involved in food processing, manufacturing, and distribution should adopt and implement the ISO 22000.

ISO 22000 certification (also known as “registration”), is a third-party audit performed by a certification body such as QA 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 performed on a triennial basis.

STEPS OF CERTIFICATION

STEP ONE

Complete a Quote Request Form so that we can understand your company and requirements. We will use this information to accurately define your scope of assessment and provide you with a proposal for certification.

 

STEP TWO

Once you’ve agreed your proposal, we will contact you to book your assessment with an QA Assessor. This assessment consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit. Please note that you must be able to demonstrate that your management system has been fully operational for a minimum of three months and has been subject to a management review and full cycle of internal audits.

 

STEP THREE

Following a successful two stage audit, a certification decision is made and if positive, then certification to the required standard is issued by QA. You will receive both a hard and soft copy of the certificate. Certification is valid for three years and is maintained through a programme of annual surveillance audits and a three yearly recertification audit.
