Overview of ISO 22000:2018

This first part introduces ISO 22000, explaining what it is, how it's used, and the purpose and benefits of a Food Safety Management System (FSMS).

ISO 22000:2018 Principles

This part introduces the seven principles of ISO 22000:

  • Customer Focus
    The organization must demonstrate its commitment to quality by cultivating a strong customer focus, and by striving to meet and exceed customer needs.
  • Leadership
    Endorse strong leadership that communicates the organization's vision and objectives.
  • Engagement of People
    Engage and empower people at all levels of the organization. The organization should cultivate a work environment in which frank, open communication is welcomed and employees are valued and encouraged to thrive.
  • Process Approach
    An ISO 22000 system typically consists of several different processes working together. Organizations need to make sure that designated people understand these processes and their expected outcomes.
  • Improvement
    Continual improvement is a key component of ISO 22000 and a core objective of an organization's FSMS.
  • Evidence-Based Decision Making
    Decisions based on the analysis and evaluation of reliable data are more likely to produce desired outcomes.
  • Relationship Management
    Develop mutually beneficial relationships with interested parties, including suppliers, partners, customers, and other stakeholders.

ISO 22000 Requirements

This part takes a step-by-step look at the relevant clauses in the ISO 22000:2018 standard in order to understand what they mean and what your company needs to do to comply with them.

Documented Information

Clear, well-written, and non-bureaucratic documentation is an important part of a Food Safety Management System.

A point worth noting here is that documents are used for storing and sharing information, while records are essentially hard copies of results (such as from an audit) or evidence of activities that have been performed. And while documents get revised from to time and are generally kept up-to-date, records are static and never revised.

Overview of HACCP

This part covers HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), an internationally-recognized system for minimizing or eliminating food safety hazards.

Audit Process

This part gives an overview of internal auditing and includes a video tutorial that gives a practical "real-life" demonstration of an auditor conducting the opening meeting.

Audit Terms and Definitions, and Roles and Responsibilities

Terms and definitions are introduced and explained, as well as a discussion of the roles and responsibilities expected from a company's internal auditor. The lessons also include a video tutorial that gives a practical "real-life" demonstration of audit questions and answers.

Performing an Audit

This part includes a video tutorial that gives a practical "real-life" demonstration of an auditor conducting the closing meeting.

Nonconformities and Corrective Action

Nonconformities (also known as non-conformities or non-conformances) are the "gaps" in your FSMS that don't fully comply with ISO 22000:2018 requirements. Corrective actions are actions taken to address these gaps. Keeping a record of all such nonconformities and corrective actions is a crucial part of auditing.

Who Should Take ISO 22000:2018 Lead Auditor Training?

  • Staff who've been appointed solo auditor or leader of the company's ISO 22000 audit team.
  • Food safety professionals who need an in-depth understanding of ISO 22000 FSMS audit practices.
