What ISO 22000:2018 Actually Requires

The standard is structured around four clause groups. Here's what each requires of your business — in plain language.

Clauses 4-5

Context & Leadership

Understand your organization's food safety context, interested parties (customers, regulators, suppliers), and define a food safety policy. Top management must demonstrate clear commitment and assign roles.

Clause 6

Planning & Risk-Based Thinking

Identify food safety risks and opportunities. Set measurable food safety objectives. Plan changes to the FSMS in a controlled, documented way. Risk-based thinking replaces reactive firefighting.

Clauses 7-8

Operation: PRPs + HACCP

The operational heart of the standard. Prerequisite Programs (PRPs), hazard analysis, traceability, emergency preparedness, control of nonconforming products, and the full HACCP framework integrated within the management system.

Clauses 9-10

Performance Evaluation & Improvement

Internal audits, management review, monitoring of food safety performance, corrective actions, and continual improvement. The mechanism that keeps the FSMS effective long after certification.

Gap Analysis

Site visit, document review, and detailed gap report against ISO 22000:2018. You learn exactly where you stand.

System Design & Documentation

Internal Audit & Review

Certification & Beyond

We support you through stage 1 & 2 audits. Post-certification, we offer surveillance and recertification support.

ISO 22000 vs HACCP vs FSSC 22000

The most common question we get: "Which one do I actually need?" Here's the honest answer in one table.

AspectHACCPISO 22000FSSC 22000
TypeFood safety methodologyManagement system standardGFSI-recognized certification scheme
Certifiable?No (just a methodology)YesYes
GFSI Accepted?NoNo (alone)Yes
Built OnCodex Alimentarius principlesHACCP + Annex SL management systemISO 22000 + sector PRPs (ISO/TS 22002-x)
Best ForDubai Municipality, SFDA baseline complianceInternational market access & integration with ISO 9001/45001Major retailers (Walmart, Tesco), global supply chain
Includes HACCP?Yes (it IS HACCP)Yes (built in)Yes (via ISO 22000)
Required ForMost UAE food businesses (regulatory)Companies wanting international FSMS recognitionSuppliers to major global retailers
Upgrade Path→ ISO 22000 → FSSC 22000→ FSSC 22000 (add sector PRPs)Apex tier — no further upgrade needed

Rule of thumb: Start with HACCP for regulatory compliance. Move to ISO 22000 when you want international recognition. Upgrade to FSSC 22000 when major retailers ask for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does ISO 22000 implementation take?
Timeline depends on business size, current food safety maturity, and target audit date. Smaller operations can move faster; larger multi-site businesses take longer. We give you a realistic estimate after the initial gap analysis — and stick to it.
What's the difference between ISO 22000 and HACCP?
HACCP is a food safety methodology focused on hazard analysis and critical control points. ISO 22000 is a complete management system standard that incorporates HACCP plus organizational context, leadership, planning, and continual improvement. ISO 22000 is certifiable; HACCP alone is not. See our comparison table above for the full breakdown.
Do I need ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000?
If you want international FSMS recognition, ISO 22000 is enough. If you sell to major global retailers (Walmart, Tesco, Carrefour), they often require FSSC 22000 — which adds GFSI recognition. FSSC 22000 is essentially ISO 22000 + sector-specific PRPs. We can implement either, or upgrade you from ISO 22000 to FSSC 22000 later.
Can ISO 22000 be integrated with ISO 9001 or ISO 45001?
Yes — all three follow the Annex SL high-level structure, which means they share common clauses. We routinely deploy integrated management systems (IMS) combining ISO 22000 (food safety) with ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety). Significant cost and effort savings vs implementing them separately.
Who actually issues the certificate?
We're a consultancy — we prepare your system for certification. The certificate is issued by an independent accredited certification body after a successful 2-stage audit. We can recommend reputable certification bodies and coordinate the audit on your behalf.
What documents will I receive?
A complete Food Safety Management System: Food Safety Manual, HACCP Plan with hazard analysis, Prerequisite Programs (PRPs), SOPs, traceability protocols, internal audit framework, monitoring forms, corrective action templates, management review records, and training materials. All customized to your operation — not generic templates.
Does ISO 22000 work for small food businesses?
Yes. ISO 22000 scales — the requirements are the same, but documentation depth scales to business size and risk. A single-outlet restaurant has a much lighter FSMS than a multi-site food manufacturer, but both can be certified.
How much does ISO 22000 consulting cost?
Cost depends on business size, complexity, current state, and number of sites. We quote per project after the free gap analysis, with no hidden fees. Get a free quote.
