FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

ISO 22000:2018 Certification

Food safety management system. Typically about 5 working days after complete documents, payment and review.

What is ISO 22000:2018?

ISO 22000 is the food safety management standard for any organisation in the food chain, from farm and processing to transport, storage and catering. It combines prerequisite hygiene programmes with HACCP principles inside a management system that follows the same structure as ISO 9001.

Who needs it?

  • Food processors and packers
  • Restaurants, caterers and cloud kitchens
  • Cold storage, warehousing and food transport
  • Exporters of food and agri products

  • Systematic control of food safety hazards
  • A credential for buyers, retailers and exporters
  • Fewer complaints and product withdrawals
  • Includes HACCP, so one system covers both
FROM APPLICATION TO DECISION

How it works

01

Define scope and buyer needs

Identify activities, sites, the standard and edition, and any buyer or tender accreditation requirement.

02

Confirm the certification route

Check the issuing body, accreditation scope, assessment arrangements and total fees in writing before payment.

03

Prepare documents and evidence

Submit initial business documents and the records needed to demonstrate how your management system operates.

04

Complete review and assessment

The applicable review or audit may require additional evidence and corrective action. Timing depends on scope and readiness.

05

Decision and ongoing review

Issuance depends on successful review, not payment alone. Check the issued scope and arrange applicable surveillance and renewal.

STARTING YOUR APPLICATION

Initial business documents

These establish who is applying and the proposed business scope. They are the starting point; the service-specific review or assessment can require additional operational evidence.

01

Business registration

Udyam, incorporation certificate or shop licence.

02

Letterhead or visiting card

Your business name and contact details.

03

One business invoice

A recent sales or purchase invoice.

04

Your business scope

What you do, in one or two clear lines.

Prepare for ISO 22000:2018

Use these food safety management system checks to organise your preparation. For each item, identify the responsible person, the procedure used and a recent record showing what happens in practice.

  • Prerequisite programmes for hygiene, pest control and cleaning
  • Hazard analysis for every product and process step
  • Hazard control plan with critical control points and limits
  • Traceability, withdrawal and recall procedure
  • Verification, internal audit and management review

Make your evidence match your scope

  • Describe the actual activities and locations to be reviewed, including outsourced work and responsibilities retained by your business.
  • Choose current examples from your own operation. Record the date, responsible person and outcome so the reviewer can connect the evidence to your stated scope.
  • Identify missing records or unfinished actions before assessment. A policy or blank template alone does not show how a process operates.
  • Ask which records apply to your selected service and scope. This preparation checklist is not an exhaustive assessment or a promise of certification.

Questions about ISO 22000:2018

01Does ISO 22000 replace an FSSAI licence?+

No. An FSSAI licence or registration is a legal requirement for food businesses in India. ISO 22000 is a voluntary management standard.

02What is the difference between ISO 22000 and HACCP?+

HACCP is a method for controlling hazards. ISO 22000 places HACCP inside a full management system with policy, objectives, audits and review.

03Is it the same as FSSC 22000?+

No. FSSC 22000 is a separate scheme built on ISO 22000 with extra requirements, often asked for by large retailers.
