ISO 22000

The standard which supports you in managing food safety.

What can ISO 22000 do for you?

• it helps you to manage food safety hazards and risks
• clients will be confident when they see that you have it. Large food producers are especially keen on ISO 22000
• if you clients are confident, consumers and legislators will be too.
• it has the same format as other standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. So it's easy to integrate with the standards you're using at the moment.
• ISO 22000 is recognised throughout the global food chain.
• at the moment lots of organisations need several food safety standards. This means there's often overlap between the standards, and you have to spend more time and money getting them. ISO 22000 is the tool to harmonise all HACCP based standards.

Who can use ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 is the first standard that all parts of the food supply chain can use, from 'farm to fork'. This includes suppliers of non-food products and services, like cleaning, equipment manufacturers and transport companies. ISO 22000 is right for you whether you're a small, medium or large-sized company; whether you're a bakery with 10 employees, a packaging company, or an international food manufacturer or supermarket.

How can LRQA help?

We can assess whether you meet the criteria for ISO 22000. LRQA is a member of the group which developed this standard (the ISO 22000 working group). So we really understand what the standard is about.

Our assessments can combine ISO 22000 with other approvals, such as the British Retail Consortium (BRC), the International Food Standard (IFS) and ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

We run training courses that will help you to understand about implementing ISO 22000 in your company
