ISO 22000 Certification

What is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000:2018 is the international standard for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). It combines system management, prerequisite programmes and HACCP principles so any organisation in the food chain can identify and control food safety hazards.

Who needs ISO 22000 certification?

• Food manufacturers and processors controlling biological, chemical and physical hazards
• Packaging, storage and transport providers demonstrating safe handling and traceability
• Food exporters meeting the requirements of international buyers

How certification works

Certification follows an application review, a Stage 1 review of your FSMS and HACCP plan, and a Stage 2 audit of the system in operation. On success, an independent certification decision is made and your certificate is issued. Certificates are valid three years with annual surveillance audits. Your organisation — or a consultant of your choosing — builds and operates the FSMS; CCI's role is the independent assessment.

Why certify with Company Certification International

CCI carries out ISO 22000 audits across the food supply chain, with every certificate publicly verifiable. See our accreditation and recognition page for scheme-specific accreditation status. CCI does not provide management-system consultancy, documentation drafting or implementation support. Engaging ISOXPERT Management & IT Consultants — an independent consulting and technology firm under common ownership with CCI — any other consultant, or no consultant has no bearing on any certification decision.
