Hi all,
Is there anyone whose company is involved in the ISO 22000 UKAS Pilot Certification Scheme Projects? It would be interesting to know when you expect to be ready for audit.
From my information, there are 20 CBs selected to participate under this scheme and I am also told the bigger "boys" have already instructed their regional companies to go for it.
FDIS ISO 22K had indicated that the audit will be under guide 62 which will mean that the issue of auditor's competency and recognised qualifications may likely to become a "sticky" issue to deal with. Under normal circumstance, a QMS registered auditor with no food audit log experience is not likely to be allowed to perform audit on a food producer ISO 22K system. Personally, I do not allow non-food registered auditor to audit my clients. Bad experiences
Auditor conversion training courses are currently ongoing. It sounds good. It is going to be exciting once the implications of this new standard are known when released next month.
What really surprises me is the lack of discussion/forum interest in this area as we get drawn nearer to the release of this international standard. IMO, CBs are already developing or have developed internal audit parameters for the commonly known "HACCP Certification".
Audit checklists of some CBs no longer use the basic Codex guidelines but rather a heightened and stringent version with elements of ISO 22000 already inserted. And, from my experiences, improved HACCP Certification covers more depth and lots more grounds. Meanwhile, I expect ISO 22000 Certification to be pretty demanding.
