WHY CHOOSE BUREAU VERITAS CERTIFICATION?

safety of foodstuffs has become a major issue for all players in the food chain. A single

standard with worldwide reach, and including the food safety principles, thus became

necessary.

covers Interactive communication, System Management and Hazard control.

OUR CERTIFICATION PROCESS

FAQ

Key steps in our certification process are:

Definition of certification scope;

Pre-audit (optional); gap analysis and diagnosis of your current

position against the standard;

Initial audit to verify the implementation of the basic structure of

the Management System (applying legislation and regulations);

Certification audit (certificate issued);

Surveillance audits to follow the continual improvement;

Re-certification after 3 years through full audit or continual

assessment.

After each step, a straightforward and complete report is quickly

delivered allowing your company to continually improve its food

safety management performance.

What does IS0 22000 cover?

Interactive communication. The Standard requires the organization to

proactively communicate with key stakeholders in order to understand their

needs and demands, and inform them of any variances.

System Management. The Standard builds on ISO 9001:2000 to enhance the

implementation of effective food safety systems.

Hazard control. An effective system that can control food safety hazards to

acceptable levels in end products (or delivered to the next step in the food

chain).

Already certified ISO 9001, should I replace it with ISO 22000?

No. ISO 22000 should be seen as a necessary complement to ISO 9001, not

just as a stand-alone standard.

When combined, the resulting system could deliver excellence in food

manufacture & supply.

Already certified on other standards, what should I focus on?

If your company is certified in compliance with the British Retail Consortium

(BRC) or the International Food Standard (IFS), work will be necessary on in-

house and external communication, documented HACCP analysis and the

underlying documentation, as well as commitment from top management.

If certified against DS3027, Dutch Criteria for HACCP or similar standards,

you will need to focus on in-house and external communication, GMP-like

management measures, and acceptable levels for critical parameters.

Should I train internal auditors on ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 standard requires that internal audits shall be performed by

competent auditors. Bureau Veritas Certification offers IRCA registered training

sessions from 3 to 5 days which could be arranged in-house.
