ISO 22000

ISO 22000:2018 first revision has integrated latest developments in food safety domain which lack for last 13 years while eliminating many complexities in ISO 22000:2005 version. The new version has adapted the common platform of the ISO which is called Annex SL to reduce the complexities of merging several ISO standards in a single production system. However, improvements to the standard has created additional works for the quality assurance personnel operating in the food industry. The new changes has proposed major differences to the existing ISO 22000 FSMS and the way of presenting documented information for the propose of system compliances; hence, following ISO 22000:2018 generic model has tried to address them in a systematic approach while reducing the number of documents and systems inside a production facility. The ISO 22000:2018 generic model was developed based on an orthodox black tea manufacturing facility which can be used as an externally developed FSMS while adapting to any specific facility with minimum changes. The objective of the book is to explain the development process of the new version of the standard through a practical example which also can be directly converted into an ISO 22000:2018 FSMS in real time. This book is also intended to help food safety and quality assurance professionals, tea industry, food safety/quality domain students, workers and interested parties. Nonetheless, generic model also can be used as a primary document by students, QA personnel, consultants, or any interested parties to develop a paper based ISO 22000:2018 FSMS for other respective food items where user need to conduct a complete hazard analysis and customization of the system.
