What is it
ISO 22000:2018 is the international standard for food safety management systems. It combines the HACCP principles, prerequisite programs (PRPs) and management system elements into a single model for every link of the food chain — from raw material supplier to shop shelf.
Who needs ISO 22000:2018
- Food and beverage manufacturers
- Agricultural processors
- Manufacturers of food-contact packaging
- Food logistics, warehouses and carriers
- Food exporters
What your company gets
- Access to procurement by retail chains, distributors and export customers
- Systematic control of food safety risks
- Reduced risk of product recalls and reputational losses
- A ready base for upgrading to FSSC 22000
How implementation works
Timeline — from 25 days to 3 months, depending on your production's current readiness. We set the exact timeline after the Gap analysis.
Gap analysis
We audit the production and documentation and deliver a nonconformity map and work plan
Documentation
We develop PRPs, the HACCP plan and management system procedures
Implementation
We train staff, launch CCP monitoring and conduct an internal audit
Audit
We support the certification audit until you receive the certificate
ISO 22000 in Uzbekistan: a closer look at food safety certification
ISO 22000 in Uzbekistan is being adopted ever more actively by food producers: export growth and the requirements of retail chains and distributors are turning the certificate into a de facto pass to serious contracts. The standard is universal — it suits a flour mill, a dairy plant, a packaging manufacturer or cold-chain logistics alike. We adapt the system to your specific production instead of copying a "generic package".
What an ISO 22000 system consists of
The system is built in three layers. The first is prerequisite programs (PRPs): sanitation and hygiene, pest control, equipment maintenance, personal hygiene and traceability. The second is HACCP: analysis of hazards (biological, chemical, physical, allergens) and management of critical control points with critical limits, monitoring and corrective actions. The third is management elements: policy, objectives, internal audits, management review, nonconformity control and improvement.
Stages of ISO 22000 certification
Stage 1. Gap analysis. We check sanitary conditions, technological processes, existing HACCP programs and records. The result is a nonconformity map and a project plan.
Stage 2. Documentation. We develop PRPs for your workshops, a HACCP plan with substantiated critical limits, and procedures for traceability, product recall and nonconformity management.
Stage 3. Implementation. We train personnel and the HACCP team, launch CCP monitoring and record-keeping, and conduct the internal audit and management review.
Stage 4. Certification audit. We support the accredited body's audit until the ISO 22000 certificate is issued.
ISO 22000, HACCP or FSSC 22000 — which to choose
If customers ask for "HACCP", an implemented HACCP methodology is usually enough — we offer a dedicated HACCP service. If you need an internationally recognised food safety system certificate, that is ISO 22000. If products go to major international chains and customers refer to GFSI, the FSSC 22000 scheme built on ISO 22000 will be required. At the start we determine free of charge which level your markets actually need, so you don't overpay.
Timeline and cost of ISO 22000 certification in Uzbekistan
The timeline is from 25 days to 3 months depending on the type of production, headcount and the current state of sanitary programs. The cost depends on the enterprise's scale and the number of sites. An exact estimate follows the gap analysis — free of charge.
Why it is safer with us
We have been implementing food safety systems for over 15 years — from workshops to large plants. Our HACCP plans withstand audits by retail chains and foreign customers because critical limits and monitoring are tied to your real technology. After certification we support surveillance audits and help develop the system towards FSSC 22000 if customer requirements grow.
What it costs
The cost depends on your production — number of employees, sites and processes. Leave a request and within a day we will calculate the exact cost and timeline for your case. The estimate is free and non-binding.
