Essential Documents You Need to Prepare for ISO 22000 Certification

What Documentation Is Required When Applying for ISO 22000 Certificate?

ISO 22000 certification requires businesses to prepare and submit all necessary documents in an organized manner to successfully establish and maintain their food safety management systems. The documentation to be used in the certification process is critical to ensuring the traceability and accuracy of food safety processes. Here are the essential documentation elements required when applying for the ISO 22000 certificate:

Food Safety Policy: The food safety policy defines your business's food safety goals and commitments. At the first stage of the ISO 22000 certification process, your company's food safety policy should be clearly defined and accepted by all employees. As Kayra Certification, we guide you in creating this document and documenting your business's management strategies.

HACCP Plan and Risk Analysis: The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan is a crucial document to identify and minimize food safety risks. ISO 22000 certification requires the detailed preparation of this plan. Kayra Certification offers professional support in creating the HACCP plan and assessing food safety risks.

Procedures and Instructions: During the ISO 22000 certification process, written procedures and instructions must be prepared to explain how your food safety management system operates. These procedures should cover every stage of the food safety process. At Kayra Certification, we help you prepare custom procedures tailored to your business's needs, simplifying your certification process.

Monitoring and Measurement Records: ISO 22000 certification requires maintaining records of all monitoring and measurement activities. These records are used to evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of the food safety system. Kayra Certification provides guidance on organizing and maintaining these records accurately.

Training Records and Employee Participation: ISO 22000 certification requires all employees to participate in food safety training and document their participation. Training records demonstrate your personnel's knowledge and awareness of food safety. Kayra Certification assists you in properly managing and documenting these training processes.

Internal Audit and Management Review Reports: Since ISO 22000 is based on the principle of continuous improvement, internal audits and management reviews play an essential role. These audits and reviews must be documented. Kayra Certification guides you in preparing internal audit and review reports.

Corrective and Preventive Actions: Corrective and preventive actions taken under the food safety management system must be documented. These actions aim to solve identified issues and prevent potential future problems. Kayra Certification offers professional support to ensure these actions are properly recorded and tracked.

Supplier Management Records: In ISO 22000 certification, supplier management is crucial because suppliers must also comply with the food safety management system. It is necessary to monitor and document the performance of suppliers. Kayra Certification helps you create an effective supplier management system.
