ISO 2200: 2018
FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This standard specifies
requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS) to enable an
organization that is directly or indirectly involved in the food chain:
a) to plan, implement, operate, maintain and
update a FSMS providing products and services that are safe, in accordance with
their intended use;
b) to demonstrate compliance with applicable
statutory and regulatory food safety requirements;
c) to evaluate and assess mutually agreed customer
food safety requirements and to demonstrate conformity with them;
d) to
effectively communicate food safety issues to interested parties within the
food chain;
e) to ensure
that the organization conforms to its stated food safety policy;
f) to
demonstrate conformity to relevant interested parties;
g) to seek certification or registration of its
FSMS by an external organization, or make a self-assessment or self-declaration
of conformity to this document.
All requirements of this are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations in the food chain, regardless of size and complexity.
Organizations that are directly or
indirectly involved include, but are not limited to, feed producers, animal
food producers, harvesters of wild plants and animals, farmers, producers of
ingredients, food manufacturers, retailers, and organizations providing food
services, catering services, cleaning and sanitation services, transportation,
storage and distribution services, suppliers of equipment, cleaning and
disinfectants, packaging materials and other food contact materials.
This allows any
organization, including small and/or less developed organizations (e.g. a small
farm, a small packer-distributor, a small retail or food service outlet) to
implement externally-developed elements in their FSMS.
Internal and/or external
resources can be used to meet the requirements of this standard.
