Global Energy Up is an independent certification body for management systems and a validation and verification body for greenhouse-gas information. We audit and decide; we do not consult.
ISO 22000:2018
Food safety management
Food safety fails at the interfaces — suppliers, transport, cleaning.
ISO 22000 certification demonstrates that an organization in the food chain controls food-safety hazards through prerequisite programmes, a hazard analysis and a verified control plan.
Who it is for. Food and beverage manufacturers, primary producers, caterers, packaging manufacturers, storage and transport providers in the food chain.
- Prerequisite programmes suited to the operation
- Hazard analysis, including determination of OPRPs and CCPs
- The hazard control plan, monitoring and action when limits are not met
- Traceability, withdrawal and recall
- Control of product and process nonconformity
- Verification, validation of control measures and system update
Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.
How the audit runs
Audit time is determined under ISO 22003-1:2022, based on the food-chain category, the number of HACCP studies and effective personnel. Remote auditing never reduces the required audit time.
01.
Stage 1
Review of documentation, readiness and scope, and planning of Stage 2.
02.
Stage 2
On-site evaluation of implementation and effectiveness; findings are recorded.
03.
Decision & surveillance
An independent decision, then annual surveillance through the three-year cycle.
Edition and transition
Audits are conducted against ISO 22000:2018 including Amendment 1:2024 on climate-change considerations.
Auditing with other standards
Where the system is integrated with others, the standards can be audited together in one visit; duration is calculated for each standard and then adjusted for the actual degree of integration.
- What do I need to apply?
- Why do you ask about consultancy?Because we do not certify a system on which a body related to us provided consultancy, and every application is screened for conflicts of interest before it is accepted.
- Will the certificate carry an accreditation mark?Not before accreditation is granted. Certificates are currently issued without an accreditation mark.
