ISO 22000/ HACCP is the internationally recognised standard for the food safety management system of businesses. It applies to the processes that create and control the products and services an organisation supplies. It prescribes systematic control of activities to ensure that the needs and expectations of customers are met. It is designed and intended to apply to virtually any product or service, made by any process anywhere in the world.
-> Registration to ISO 22000/ HACCP by an accredited certification body shows committed to quality, customers, and a willingness to work towards improving efficiency.
-> It demonstrates the existence of an effective quality management system that satisfies the rigours of an independent, external audit.
-> Mandatory Stage I & Stage II audits are carried out for all our clients.
-> An ISO 22000/ HACCP certificate enhances company image in the eyes of customers, employees and shareholders alike.
-> It also gives a competitive edge to an organisation's marketing.
Once all the requirements of ISO 9001 have been met, it is time for an external audit.
This should be carried out by a third party, accredited certification body. The chosen certification body will review the quality manuals and procedures. This process involves looking at the company's evaluation of quality and ascertains if targets set for the management program are measurable and achievable.
This is followed at a later date by a full on-site audit to ensure that working practices observe the procedures and stated objectives and that appropriate records are kept.
After a successful audit, a certificate of registration to ISO 22000/ HACCP will be issued. There will then be surveillance visits (usually once or twice a year) to ensure that the system continues to work. This is covered in more detail in ISOQAR's 'Audit Procedure' information sheet.
-> Identify the requirements of ISO 22000/ HACCP and how they apply to the business involved.
-> Establish quality objectives and how they fit in to the operation of the business.
-> Produce a documented quality policy indicating how these requirements are satisfied.
-> Communicate them throughout the organisation.
-> Evaluate the quality policy, its stated objectives and then prioritise requirements to ensure they are met.
-> Identify the boundaries of the management system and produce documented procedures as required.
Ensure these procedures are suitable and adhered to. Once developed, internal audits are needed to ensure the system carries on working.

Here are several common elements between these three systems, such as management review, document control, corrective action and the requirement for trained personnel. These can be integrated into a single, joint system or a combination of any of the above. Audit of joint systems is available and may be the best method for some companies.
