ISO 22000
It is food safety standards that offer a global solution in harmonizing requirements towards safety management systems of a food supply chain. The standard's advantage is it synergy with HACCP. The standard has been delivered within ISO by experts from the food industry, along with representatives of specialised international organisations and in close corporation with the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the body jointly established by the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) to develop food standards. It demonstrates an organisation's commitment to food safety and provides a means to demonstrate that an organisation is taking the necessary steps to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption.

Food Safety Management System Standard
The standard specifies 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 the food is safe at the time of human consumption.
It is applicable 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. The means of meeting any requirements of ISO 22000 can be accomplished through the use of internal and/or external resources.
ISO 22000 specifies requirements to enable an organization to:
- Plan, implement, operate, maintain and update a food safety management system aimed at providing products that, according to their intended use, are safe for the consumer
- Demonstrate compliance with statutory and regulatory food safety requirements
- Evaluate and assess customer requirements and demonstrate conformity with those mutually agreed customer requirements that relate to food safety, in order to enhance customer satisfaction
- Effectively communicate food safety issues to their suppliers, customer, and relevant interested parties in the food chain
- Ensure that the organisation conforms to its stated food safety policy
- Demonstrate such conformity to relevant interested parties, and
- Seek certification or registration of its food safety management system by an external organization such as SABS Commercial
The standard can be applied on its own, or in combination with other management system standards such as ISO 9001.
