    Study Notes

    Introduction to ISO22000:2018 Standard (The Standard)

    • ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization
    • ISO 22000 is an International Standard that specifies requirements for a Food Safety Management System (FSMS)
    • It provides a framework for organizations to identify and control food safety hazards, ensuring that food is safe for consumption throughout the food chain
    • The 2018 edition is the second edition, replacing the first (2005) edition
    • The standard was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food Products, Subcommittee SC 17, Management Systems for Food Safety

    Course Outline

    • The course covers an introduction to the ISO 22000 standard and the PDCA cycle
    • Benefits of implementing the standard in food organisations are explored
    • Key requirements of the standard are outlined, including: Leadership, Planning, Support, Operations planning and control, Traceability system, Emergency preparedness and response.
    • The course will also cover: Requirements of the Standard II including Prerequisite programs, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), Control of monitoring and measuring, Verification, Control of product and process nonconformities, Requirements of the Standard III, Performance evaluation, Internal audit and management review, Improvement and update, Implementing ISO22000 in food organizations, and Auditing and Certification
    • The content also describes the course's life cycle, from withdrawn standards and current published standards, including amendments.
