ISO 22000:2005

The ISO 22000:2005 standard outlines Food Safety Management System Requirements for any organization in the food chain, and is one of a family of standards focused at the development, implementation and improvement of a food safety management system.

ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Standard (FSMS), globally harmonizes requirements for organizations within the food chain. Among many global contributors to the development and publication of the standard are the Codex Alimentary Commission (CODEX), United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). These operating within the forum of the international confederation of countries International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

ISO 22000 affects organizations within the food chain from farm-to-fork (includes agricultural, processing, catering, packaging... restaurants, cruisers... anywhere and everywhere food is processed, served and handled). This allows all types of organizations within the food supply chain to implement an effective food management system, and may apply to organic and ecological product designation. And ISO 22000 resulting beneficial to organizations worldwide by harmonizing to "one" system rather than numerous... as for regions of operations as well as point of sales.

ISO 22000 is written with a structure compatible to other management system standards in the light of ISO 9001:2000 (applying ISO 15161 as guideline) while combining HACCP MS - 21 CFR 110| Codex HACCP.

To achieve its objecive of food safety ISO 22000, needs considering the following objectives:

Complying with Codex HACCP principles and PRPs Harmonizing voluntarily to international management standardsProvides a specification for requirements that can be assessed and achieve certification, either self declaration or for first, second and third party verification is aligned with other management systems standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001)

HACCP and ISO for Food Safety Management

The need for safety within the supply-chain is on the rise this leads for food processors to develop HACCP based food safety management schemes. ISO 22000 defines the requirements for organizations opting to meet (and exceed through improving) regulatory requirements for food safety. For ISO 22000 management system certification - registration fulfilling the requirements of ISO / TS 22003 : 2007

Benefits of implementing ISO 22000:2005 include:

A clear, audit able, global standard providing a framework to bring together all parts of your Food Safety Management System (FSMS).
Demonstrates commitment to customer satisfaction.
Tests compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements and your own systems through internal audits and management reviews.
Improves internal and external communications.
Improves your organizations image.
Links pre-requisite programs (PRP’s & OPRP’s), HACCP with the Plan-Do-Study-Act philosophies of ISO9001 to increase the effectiveness of your food management system.
Requires regular testing of data integrity / lot recall programs and process audits.
Aligns with other management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001)

Who should use ISO 22000:2005?

Since ISO 22000 is a generic food safety management standard it can be used by any organization directly or indirectly involved in the food chain including- Farms, Fisheries and Dairies, Processors of Meats, Fish and Feed, including Manufacturers of soups, snacks, bread, cereal, beverages, canned and frozen food, etc as well as food service providers such as restaurants, fast food chains, hospitals and hotels.

Supporting services should not be forgotten and providers of food transportation storage and distribution, catering services as well as product suppliers for equipment, additives, raw materials, cleaning and sanitizing products, packaging. In short if your products touch the food industry or the food we eat, part or all of the ISO 22000 requirements will apply.

How do we audit a 22000 FSMS?

Our audit process consists of two stages, each of which is provided by checklists to ensure a through understanding of the processes and expectations of each stage.

Stage one

After your organization completes our stage one checklist an onsite review of your FSMS will be scheduled, this will consist of a through review of your food safety management system by one of our food management system auditors, including PRP’s, OPRP’s, HACCP,

compliance with regulatory and statutory and customer requirements.Mandated procedures, internal audits and management reviews will also be examined to ensure your organization is ready for the second stage of the assessment.

Stage two

We now test your FSMS, our audit team will be working hands on with your food safety team, looking for compliance to your FSMS, ISO 22000, as well as statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to your organizations position in the food chain and final consumption of product. We will sample all your processes, production methods, controls, PRP’s, HACCP plans and procedures, as well as test your personnel’s skills and knowledge in food safety as well as practical application. Our value added audit process will also allow best practices discussions with your management team and give a unique outsiders view of your present system.

HACCP

It is very important to realize that continuous product analysis is not a full assurance for human health because only a small portion of produced food stuff can be analysed, not all of them. Therefore a method is required to cover all process steps in more systematic way. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) standard is a system providing a systematic and logical approach.

At the beginning HACCP was emerged by NASA to produce safe food for astronauts in 1959-1960. Afterwards, in 1963 its principles are published by World Health Organization (WHO) and CAC (Codex Allimentarius Commission). HACCP is an approach defining the requirements of a safe food management system.

HACCP system enables the organizations to focus on the analysis of hazards effecting the food safety and the definition of critical control limits in a systematic way

ISO/IEC 27001:2005

ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Information technology - Security techniques - Specification for an Information Security Management System

ISO/IEC 27001 is the formal standard against which organizations may seek independent certification of their Information Security Management Systems

(meaning their frameworks to design, implement, manage, maintain and enforce information security processes and controls systematically and consistently throughout the organizations).

The standard covers all types of organizations (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies and non-profit organizations).

the ISO/IEC committee responsible for ISO27k and related standards, ISO/IEC 27001 “is intended to be suitable for several different types of use, including:

    Use within organizations to formulate security requirements and objectives;
    Use within organizations as a way to ensure that security risks are cost-effectively managed;
    Use within organizations to ensure compliance with laws and regulations;
    Use within an organization as a process framework for the implementation and management of controls to ensure that the specific security objectives of an organization are met;

    The definition of new information security management processes;
    Identification and clarification of existing information security management processes.

    Use by the management of organizations to determine the status of information security management activities;
    Use by the internal and external auditors of organizations to demonstrate the information security policies, directives and standards adopted by an organization and determine the degree of compliance with those policies, directives and standards.

    Use by organization to provide relevant information about information security policies, directives, standards and procedures to trading partners and other organizations that they interact with for operational or commercial reasons;
    Implementation of a business enabling information security; and
    Use by organizations to provide relevant information about information security to customers.”

The information security controls from ISO/IEC 27002 are noted in an appendix to ISO/IEC 27001, rather like a menu. Organizations adopting ISO/IEC 27001 are free to choose whichever specific information security controls are applicable to their particular information security situations, drawing on those listed in the menu and potentially supplementing them with other a la carte options. As with ISO/IEC 27002, the key to selecting applicable controls is to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the organization’s information security risks, which is one vital part of the ISMS.

ISO/IEC 17025:2005

ISO/IEC 17025:2005 specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations,including sampling

It covers testing and calibration performed using standard methods, non-standard methods, and laboratory-developed methods
It is applicable to all organizations performing tests and / or calibrations. These include, for example, first-, second- and third-party laboratories, and laboratories where testing and/or calibration forms part of inspection and product certification.
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing and/or calibration activities. When a laboratory does not undertake one or more of the activities covered by ISO/IEC 17025:2005, such as sampling and the design/development of new methods, the requirements of those clauses do not apply.
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is for use by laboratories in developing their management system for quality, administrative and technical operations.
Compliance with regulatory and safety requirements on the operation of laboratories is not covered by ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
   Do I need ISO 17025?
Certain industries require 17025 compliance to varying degrees. To understand which type of 17025 compliance you require, read through the descriptions below:
1. ISO 17025 process-compliant laboratory required by:
·         Companies who want to be confident that the lab is competent and has good quality built into its processes
·         Any company with interest in their own product quality will seek a calibration supplier which follows 17025 processes
2. ISO 17025 conformant service required by:
·         Companies who require a service which delivers to the requirements of ISO 17025. It includes measurement uncertainties
·         Certain industries, for example the automotive industry, specify that instruments should be calibrated using a 17025-conformant delivery
3. ISO 17025 accredited laboratory required by:
·         Companies who believe that a lab that has passed the "accreditation hurdle" will provide higher quality non-accredited calibration than a non-accredited lab
·     Companies whose quality system says that calibration should be provided by an accredited supplier
4. ISO 17025 accredited service:
·     All measurements are performed using processes that have been assessed by the external auditing body, and that audit process will have also ratified the measurement uncertainties displayed on the calibration certificate

Required by companies whose business depends on the measurements they make, such as calibration labs, EMC conformance testing labs etc
