ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System (FSMS) is an internationally recognized standard that enables organizations operating within the food chain to identify food safety hazards, implement appropriate control measures, and systematically manage processes from raw material sourcing to final consumption.
Proks Certification is a TÜRKAK-accredited management systems certification body with over 20 years of industry experience, providing ISO 22000 certification in Izmir, Manisa, Aydin, throughout the Aegean Region, and across Türkiye, within its applicable accreditation scope.
Food safety extends beyond food production. Raw material procurement, processing, packaging, storage, transportation, and food service activities are also essential parts of the food supply chain.
The ISO 22000 standard supports the management of biological, chemical, and physical hazards through prerequisite programmes, traceability, effective communication, and the implementation of HACCP principles.
An ISO 22000 certificate confirms that an organization's food safety management system has been independently assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of the ISO 22000 standard.
During the ISO 22000 certification process, the organization's food safety policy, hazard analysis, critical control points, operational controls, traceability procedures, compliance obligations, and continual improvement activities are evaluated.
Following successful audits and a positive independent certification decision, an appropriately accredited certification body may issue an ISO 22000 certificate.
ISO 22000 certification demonstrates conformity of the management system with the applicable standard. It does not guarantee that every individual food product is risk-free under all circumstances.
ISO 22000:2018 remains the current published main edition of the Food Safety Management System standard. In 2024, ISO 22000:2018/Amd 1:2024 introduced an amendment addressing climate change considerations in the management system context.
The ISO 22000 framework focuses on:
Identifying and assessing food safety hazards
Implementing HACCP-based control measures
Establishing and maintaining prerequisite programmes
Ensuring effective communication throughout the food chain
Improving product and raw material traceability
Applying risk-based thinking and continual improvement
Monitoring applicable statutory and regulatory requirements
ISO is developing a revised edition of the standard. However, the draft has not yet replaced the currently published edition.
For official updates and revision information, visit the ISO 22000 standard page.
Organizations seeking ISO 22000 certification must establish and implement a food safety management system that meets the requirements of the applicable standard.
The general certification process includes:
Certification Application: The organization's activities, workforce, facilities, food chain category, and requested certification scope are reviewed.
Application Review: Audit requirements are assessed, and an appropriate quotation and audit plan are prepared.
Stage 1 Audit: Management system documentation, hazard analysis, prerequisite programmes, and audit readiness are evaluated.
Stage 2 Audit: Food safety practices, HACCP plans, operational controls, traceability, and conformity with ISO 22000 requirements are assessed.
Certification Decision: Audit findings and any required corrective actions are reviewed before an independent certification decision is made.
Surveillance and Recertification: Continued conformity and effectiveness are assessed through applicable surveillance and recertification activities.
Audit duration and certification scope may vary depending on organizational activities, food safety risks, workforce, and facility characteristics.
The ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System is applicable to organizations directly or indirectly involved in the food chain, regardless of their size.
Common application areas include:
Food Manufacturers: Managing food safety hazards throughout production
Food and Feed Processors: Controlling food and feed processing operations
Food Packaging Manufacturers: Assessing risks associated with food-contact packaging materials
Storage Facilities: Maintaining suitable storage conditions and managing product safety risks
Transport and Logistics Companies: Managing food safety conditions during transportation
Catering Companies: Controlling food preparation, handling, and delivery processes
Restaurants and Hospitality Businesses: Managing food preparation and service activities
Animal Feed Producers: Controlling feed safety and production processes
Food Supply Chain Organizations: Improving supplier management, traceability, and food safety communication
Although ISO 22000 can apply across the food chain, accreditation is granted for defined technical activities and categories. Organizations should review the applicable categories listed in our accreditation scopes.

Systematically identify and assess food safety hazards
