2. WHAT IS
ISO 22000?

3. WHAT IS ISO 22000?
ISO 22000, published on 1 September 2005, is
an International Standard designed to ensure
safe food supply chains worldwide and the first
of a family on food safety management systems.

4. WHAT IS ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 is a consensus agreement between all the
economic stakeholders concerned, that include
• Suppliers
• Users
• Government Regulators
• Other Interest Groups (Consumers)

5. ISO 22000 SPECIFICATION
Requirements for a food safety management
system where an organization in the food chain
needs to demonstrate its ability to control food
safety hazards in order to ensure that food is
safe at the time of human consumption.

6. ISO 22000 APPLICABILITY
To all organizations, regardless of size, which are
involved in any aspect of the food chain and
want to implement systems that consistently
provide safe products

7. ISO 22000 FAMILY
• ISO 22000:2005 - Food safety management systems - Requirements for any organization in the food
chain.
• ISO 22001 - Guidelines on the application of ISO 9001:2000 for the food and drink industry (replaces:
ISO 15161:2001).
• ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 Prerequisite programmes on food safety—Part 1: Food Manufacturing
• ISO/TS 22002-2:2013 Prerequisite programmes on food safety—Part 2: Catering
• ISO/TS 22002-3:2011 Prerequisite programmes on food safety—Part 3: Farming
• ISO/TS 22002-4:2013 Prerequisite programmes on food safety—Part 4: Food Packaging
• ISO TS 22003:2013 - Food safety management systems for bodies providing audit and certification of
food safety management systems.
• ISO TS 22004:2014 - Food safety management systems - Guidance on the application of ISO 22000:2005.
• ISO 22005:2007 - Traceability in the feed and food chain - General principles and basic requirements for
system design and implementation.
• ISO 22006 - Quality management systems - Guidance on the application of ISO 9002:2000 for crop
production.
ISO 22000 is also used in the Food Safety Systems Certification (FSSC) Scheme FS22000. FS22000 is a
Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) approved scheme.

8. ISO 22000 BENEFITS - SOCIETY
• For businesses, the widespread adoption of ISO 22000
ensures that suppliers can base the development of
their products and services on specifications that have
wide acceptance in their sectors
• This, in turn, means that businesses using ISO 22000
are increasingly free to compete on many more
markets around the world

9. ISO 22000 BENEFITS - CONSUMER
•Conformity of products and services to
International Standards
•Assurance on Quality, Safety and Reliability
•Sense of security while purchasing from a
certified manufacturer/seller

10. ISO 22000 BENEFITS – DEVELOPING NATIONS
• For developing countries, ISO 22000 represents an international
consensus and constitute an important source of technological
know-how;
• By defining the characteristics that products and services will be
expected to meet on export markets;
• International Standards give developing countries a basis for making
the right decisions when investing their scarce resources and thus
avoid squandering them

11. ISO 22000 BENEFITS – TRADE
• For trade officials negotiating the emergence of regional and global
markets, IS0 22000 create a ‘level playing field’ for all competitors
on those markets;
• The existence of divergent national or regional standards can
create technical barriers to trade, even when there is political
agreement to do away with restrictive import quotas;
• International Standards are the technical means by which political
trade agreements can be put into practice

12. ISO 22000 BENEFITS - GOVERNMENT
• technological and scientific know-how
• bases for developing health, safety and environmental legislation
• education of food regulatory personnel
• certification or registration
• international acceptance of standards used globally
• economic benefits
• social benefits
• trade liberalization
• food quality
• food safety
• food security

13. ISO 22000 BENEFITS - STAKEHOLDER
• Confidence that organizations implementing ISO 22000 have the ability
to identify and control food safety hazards;
• International in scope;
• Provides potential for harmonization of national standards;
• Provides a reference for the whole food chain;
• Provides a framework for third party certification;
• Fills the gap between ISO 9001 and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Points);
• System approach rather than Product approach;
• Auditable standards with clear requirements, suit regulators

14. ISO 22000 BENEFITS - OVERALL
ISO 22000 can contribute to the quality of life in general by
• ensuring safe food
• reducing food borne diseases
• better quality and safer jobs in the food industry
• better utilization of resources
• more efficient validation and documentation of techniques,
methods and procedures
• increased profits
• increased potential for economic growth and development

15. SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• More efficient and dynamic food safety hazard control
• Systematic management of prerequisite programmes
• Increased due diligence
• Control focused on necessity
• Resource optimization

16. CONCLUSION
• Food Safety is related to the presence of and levels of food-borne
hazards in food at the point of consumption.As food safety hazards may
be introduced at any stage of food chain, adequate control throughout is
essential.Thus, food safety is a joint responsibility of all parties
participating in the food chain;
• Failures in food supply can cause human suffering, death, poor reputation,
violations, poor nutrition, poor quality products and decreased profits;
• ISO 22000 ensures integrity of food supply chain by minimizing food-
borne hazards throughout the food chain by ensuring that there are no
weak links;

17. CONCLUSION
• It therefore makes good scientific sense for those who are involved in
food processing, manufacturing, storage, distribution of food and food
products to adopt and implement ISO 22000;
• ISO 22000 for food safety management systems is intended to provide
food safety and security;
• ISO 22000 can be applied on its own or in combination with other
management system standards such as ISO 9001:2000
