ISO 22000 and PAS 220

In 2001, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) started the development of an auditable standard
for the food industry, building on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) certification’s role in food safety management systems. 

The result was the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standard, established in 2005, with the aim of defining food safety management requirements for companies that need to meet and exceed global food safety regulations.

ISO 22000 speeds and simplifies processes without compromising other quality or safety management systems and can be used by all organisations in the supply chain, from farming to food services, to manufacturing, processing, transportation and storage, through to packaging and retail.

ISO 22000 is a harmonised food safety management standard that is accepted the world over. By integrating multiple principles, methodologies and applications, ISO 22000 is easy to understand, apply and recognise. That makes it more efficient and effective as an entry-to-market tool than previous combinations of national standards.
