ISO 22000
Food safety management, from farm and factory through to the final customer.
ISO 22000 combines HACCP-style hazard analysis with a full management-system structure, so food-safety control isn't limited to critical control points on a factory floor — it covers supplier selection, traceability, prerequisite programmes, and emergency response across the whole supply chain. The standard requires organisations to identify where contamination risk genuinely exists, put verified controls in place, and keep the records that prove those controls are working, audit after audit. Because it is built to interface cleanly with sector-specific food-safety schemes, it works equally well for a single-site producer and a multi-site business managing a complex, multi-tier supply chain.
How It Works
Tell us about your organisation and its scope — we review fit against the standard and respond with a clear, itemised quotation.
A documentation and readiness review confirming your management system is designed to meet the standard before any on-site assessment begins.
An on-site (or remote, where permitted) assessment of how the system actually operates in practice, checked against every applicable clause.
A reviewer who was not part of the audit team evaluates the findings and makes the certification decision — the impartiality safeguard behind every certificate we issue.
Your certificate is issued with a QR code for instant online verification, valid for three years subject to annual surveillance audits.
Indicative, not exhaustive — your auditor confirms the exact list for your scope during Stage 1.
A ISO 22000:2018 certificate is valid for three years from the date of issue, subject to annual surveillance audits that confirm the management system is still being maintained — not a one-time snapshot. Recertification before the three-year expiry keeps the certificate (and the QR-code verification behind it) current.
