A clearer route to ISO 22000 certification for food safety
Recognized, repeatable, ISO-based
1
global FSMS standard for the food chain
2018
version aligned to ISO’s high-level structure
How It Works
Build a Clear Path to ISO 22000 Certification
Step 1
Define scope and system needs
Clarify what your FSMS must cover so teams reduce gaps that create audit risk later.
Step 2
Align your FSMS to ISO 22000
Create one structured framework for hazards, controls and improvement.
Step 3
Close gaps before the audit
Reduce last-minute remediation and improve consistency across documents, teams and sites.
Step 4
Complete the certification audit
Deliver an accredited certification process that verifies your food safety management system.
Step 5
Maintain readiness between audits
Support continuous improvement so readiness is maintained, not rebuilt each cycle

FAQ
ISO 22000 covers the requirements for a food safety management system, including context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. These requirements form the foundation of many broader food safety certification programs used throughout the global food supply chain.
ISO 22000 applies across the food chain, including manufacturers, ingredient and packaging suppliers, storage and distribution providers, and other related operations. Organizations involved in primary production may also pursue certifications such as GLOBALG.A.P. to demonstrate compliance with recognized agricultural and food safety practices.
ISO 22000 certification typically includes an initial certification audit followed by annual surveillance audits and recertification audits at defined intervals. Businesses operating under multiple certification schemes may also coordinate activities with programs such as BRCGS certification to streamline compliance efforts.
ISO 22000 is the core food safety management system standard. FSSC 22000 builds on it with sector PRPs and additional scheme requirements.
We help define scope, assess readiness and deliver accredited certification so teams can reduce variability and build a more defensible system. Organizations may also benefit from complementary certification programs such as Safe Quality Food (SQF) depending on customer and market requirements.
