International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has released a new handbook on food safety certification. The handbook is a compilation of guidance from two ISO standards:•ISO/TS 22003 Food Safety Management Systems: Requirements for Bodies Providing Audit and Certification of Food Safety Management Systems;
•ISO/IEC 17021 Conformity Assessment: Requirements for Bodies Providing Audit and Certification of Management Systems.
The handbook provides all the information certification bodies need to conduct reliable and efficient audits. Certification to a food safety management system standard, such as ISO 22000, can help organizations identify and control food safety hazards while reassuring customers that steps have been taken to ensure that products are safe for consumption.
