The publication of the revised version of ISO 22000

The publication of the revised version of ISO 22000, an international standard with food safety management system requirements is expected by June 2018. It is a quite significant event for the companies who maintain, implement or have already implemented a management system or getting prepared for the certification according to the standard in question.

Due to the fact that ISO 22000 forms part of FSSC 22000 certification scheme, changes will affect FSSC certified companies as well. 

What main changes in ISO 22000 are expected?

• First of all, the structure of the standard will be harmonized with other main management system standards, for example, ISO 9001:2015.
• The notion of Risk is extended and is wider that that in НАССР. Similarly as in quality management system standards the companies will need to work on business risks of the organization.
• A special emphasis is laid on implementation and management of food safety management system in accordance with PDCA cycle.

As far as НАССР is concerned, within the context of changes the following categorization will be revised: Critical and Noncritical Control Points (CCPs), Operational Prerequisite Programs (OPRPs) and Prerequisite Programs (PRPs).

In June 2018 TMS RUS Academy is organizing the first training on changes in ISO 22000 requirements, where you can receive information on the new requirements and necessary steps for transition to the new version of ISO 22000:2018.
