ISO 22000:2005

ISO 22000:2005 specifies requirements for a food safety management system where an organisation in the food chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control hazards to ensure that food is safe when consumed.
The standard is applicable to all organisations, regardless of size, that are involved in any aspect of the food chain and want to implement systems that consistently provide safe products. It can be applied to crop producers, animal feed producers, food producers, wholesalers and retailers. It is also suitable for equipment producers, logistics providers, packaging material producers, producers of chemicals that are used in agriculture and food additives, food service providers and canteens. ISO 22000:2005 requirements can be accomplished through the use of internal or external resources, or a combination of both.
ISO22000 : 2005 implementation has the following benefits that will ensure you are one step ahead of your competitors.
1 An internationally recognised standard that harmonises different
requirements from customers or countries.
2 A systematic method and dynamic control to ensure food safety.
3 Facilitates communication between different interest groups, including
governments, international traders, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers
and consumers.

4 It is easy to combine with current management systems because
the structure is aligned with ISO9001:2000 and ISO14001:2004.
5 Focuses on the most important issues for food safety; based on risk
assessment results, resources can be maximised.
