Deliverables of ISO 22000(1)

• Can be used as the basis of any food safety
  management system, with or without 3rd party
  certification
• Requirements for addressing (assessing and
  implementing) food safety concerns of customers
  (e.g. retailers) and regulators

Deliverables of ISO 22000 (2)

• Combines recognized key food safety elements
• System management (ISO 9000 approach)
• Interactive communication along the food chains
• Prerequisite programmes

• Delivers a Hazard control system that can be
  Validated and
• Verified through the combination of control
  measures, managed
• and implemented by
• A HACCP plan and/or
• Operational prerequisite programs

Scope the whole food chain

Intended use of ISO 22000
(one segment in the food chain not all
companies work on the same level )
ISO 22000 BRC/IFS
National legislation based upon Codex HACCP
Guidelines

• CIES comments on DIS 22000 January 2005 (1)
•  
• The ISO 22000 standard as it is today, combines
  very well an ISO 9000 type approach to a
  management system with HACCP.
• However, if the ISO 22000 standard would be
  benchmarked against the GFSI Guidance Document,
  it wouldnt pass the preliminary screening, for
  missing one of the three key elements Good
  Manufacturing (or Agricultural) Standards.

• 7.2.3 When selecting and establishing PRP(s), the
  organization shall consider and utilize
  appropriate information (e.g. regulations,
  customer requirements, recognized guidelines,
  Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) principles
  and codes of practices, national, international
  or sector standards).
• NOTE Annex C gives a list of relevant Codex
  publications.
• The organization shall consider the following
  when establishing these programmes
• a)        construction and lay-out of buildings
  and associated utilities
• b)        lay-out of premises, including
  workspace and employee facilities
• c)        supplies of air, water, energy and
  other utilities
• d)        supporting services including waste and
  sewage disposal
• e)        suitability of equipment and its
  accessibility for cleaning, maintenance and
  preventative maintenance
• f)          management of purchased materials
  (e.g. raw materials, ingredients, chemicals,
  packaging), supplies (water, air, steam, ice,
  etc.), disposals (e.g. waste and sewage), and
  handling of products (e.g. storage and
  transportation)
• g)        measures for the prevention of cross
  contamination
• h)        cleaning and sanitizing
• i)          pest control
• j)          personnel hygiene
• k)        other aspects as appropriate.
• Verification of PRP(s) shall be planned (see 7.8)
  and PRP(s) shall be modified as necessary (see
  7.7). Records of verifications and modifications
  shall be maintained.

• CIES comments on DIS 22000 January 2005 (2)
•  
• ISO 22000 refers to customer requirements,
  which in the case of private label manufacturers
  effectively refers to the GFSI Benchmarked
  Standards, so why use ISO 22000 in the first
  place?
• ISO 22000 comes without a protocol and retailers
  cannot have control over it. Retailers need a
  protocol to answer liability issues.

ISO 22000 will be a series of documents

• ISO 22000 - Requirements
• ISO 2200x - Guidance.
• ISO 2200x - Handbook for SMEs
• ISO 2200x - Traceability
• Agenda item for WG8 in April 2005
• ISO 2200x Guidelines for certification
• Input from CIES ? (Guide 4 version)

• CIES comments on DIS - ISO 22000 January 2005 (3)
•  
• On a more general note, ISO 22000 is rather
  extensive and it remains to be seen whether
  smaller manufacturers and farmers could adopt it.
•  
• CIES have stated publicaly
• Draft of ISO 22000 does not meet retailers
  requirements.
• This statement has been a great cause of concern
  to the International Standards Organisation as
  they mandated the developemnet of this standard
  and invited CIES to participate.
