FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT
ISO 22000:2018 is the International
Food Safety standard for businesses
within the food chain.
ISO 22000:2018 is the latest International Food Safety standard, designed to meet the requirements for food safety management for food businesses across the world.
ISO 22000 combines and supplements the core elements of ISO 9001 and HACCP to provide an effective framework for the development, implementation and continual improvement of a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) within the context of an organisation’s overall business risks.
ISO 22000 certification is intended for organisations seeking to establish a more focused, coherent and integrated FSMS than is normally required by law. The standard requires meeting any applicable food safety related statutory and regulatory criteria into its food safety system.

One benefit of the ISO 9001 certification is that it is a flexible framework. It doesn’t tell a potential consumer that one way of running a business is better than any other; instead, certification verifies that a particular business meets ISO 9001’s quality management system standards. It also verifies that their method of manufacturing a product or providing a service has been designed to ensure a high-quality outcome for the customer.
ISO 9001 sets the international standard for companies looking for ways to meet or exceed quality control metrics. At the same time, it helps consumers distinguish between companies, allowing them to make educated choices when choosing a vendor. It does this by identifying best practices for each industry, standardizing those practices and promoting adherence to those practices.

Complete a Quote Request Form so we can understand you and your business. We will then use this to personally prepare a proposal for your certification and define what is known as your 'scope of assessment'.
We will then contact you to book your assessment with an ICB assessor. This consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit. Please note that you must be able to demonstrate that your management system has been operational for a minimum of three months, has been subject to a management review and a full cycle of internal audits.
Following a successful two stage audit, a decision is made and if positive, your certification is issued by ICB. You will receive both a hard and soft copy of the certificate. Certification is valid for three years and maintained through surveillance audits (years one and two,) and a recertification audit in year three.
