On the basis of the HACCP safety management system standard, the International Organization for Standardization ISO formulated the ISO22000 standard-"Food (Packaging) Safety Management System-Requirements for Any Organization in the Food Chain".

标准是联合ly formulated by talents from the food industry, representatives of international specialized agencies and the Codex Alimentarius Commission, as well as institutions jointly established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. This standard can be used as a technical standard to provide guidance for the global establishment of an effective food safety management system for companies, and to encourage global companies to implement HACCP in a simpler and consistent manner, avoiding differences due to different countries or different food products.

ISO22000 is a voluntary international standard. This standard puts forward a unified standard for the global food safety management system. my country's food and food packaging manufacturers should take precautions, become familiar with and master this standard as soon as possible, and establish and improve a food safety management system in accordance with the standard. Relevant departments should also put forward corresponding requirements for imported food manufacturers in accordance with this standard.

ISO22000 cited the five initial steps and seven principles proposed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The five initial steps include: establishing a HACCP team, product description, expected use, drawing a flowchart, and on-site confirmation of the flowchart. The seven principles include: hazard analysis, determining critical control points, establishing critical limits, establishing critical control points, establishing corrective measures that should be taken when the monitoring system shows that a control point is out of control, and establishing verification procedures to confirm the operation of the HACCP system Effective, establish a documented system. ISO22000 clarifies the common requirements in food safety management, rather than specific requirements for any type of organization in the food chain.

ISO22000 is a new standard for food safety management systems. It aims to ensure that there are no weak links in the food supply chain. ISO22000 adopts the ISO9000 standard system structure. In terms of food hazard risk identification, confirmation and system management, it refers to the relevant HACCP system and application part of the "General Principles of Food Hygiene" promulgated by the Instrument Codex Committee. The scope of application of ISO22000 covers the whole process of the food chain, namely planting, breeding, primary processing, manufacturing, and distribution, all the way to consumer use, including catering. In addition, industries closely related to food production can also adopt this standard to establish food safety management systems, such as pesticides, veterinary drugs, food additives, storage and transportation, food equipment, food cleaning services, food packaging materials, etc. This standard can be used alone or in conjunction with other management system standards such as ISO9001:2000.
