How to Obtain ISO 22000 Certificate?

Obtaining the ISO 22000 certificate is an important step in aligning your food safety management system with international standards. This certification ensures that businesses operating in the food sector maintain high-quality production and safety standards, fostering consumer trust. To successfully obtain the ISO 22000 certificate, specific steps must be followed, and it is vital to work with the right certification firm during the process.

At QRS Certification, we offer services to businesses across Turkey that wish to obtain the ISO 22000 certificate. Here are the essential steps required to obtain the ISO 22000 certificate:

1. Compliance with ISO 22000 Standards:
The first step is to assess whether your business’s food safety management system complies with ISO 22000 standards. This involves reviewing processes such as quality control, the supply chain, production methods, and food safety practices. QRS Certification provides expert guidance to ensure full compliance with ISO 22000 standards.

2. Preparation and Documentation:
All procedures related to food safety need to be thoroughly documented during the certification process. Essential documents include internal audits, quality control procedures, and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plans. QRS Certification assists businesses in preparing and organizing this documentation to streamline the certification process.

3. Internal Audits and Process Improvement:
Internal audits must be performed, and any gaps or areas for improvement should be identified. During this phase, it is crucial to review food safety processes and take corrective actions where needed. As QRS Certification, we provide professional support to guide businesses through the internal audit process.

4. Certification Audit:
Once the preparation and improvements are completed, a certification audit is conducted by the certification body. The audit assesses your business’s compliance with ISO 22000 standards. If the business meets all the requirements, the ISO 22000 certificate is issued. QRS Certification ensures a smooth and successful audit process.

5. Continuous Improvement and Monitoring:
After obtaining the ISO 22000 certificate, it’s essential to maintain and continually improve the effectiveness of your food safety management system. This emphasizes that the certification process is just the beginning. At QRS Certification, we offer ongoing support to monitor and improve processes to ensure the continued validity of your certification.
