ISO Guidelines for Implementation

Hello all

Firstly i would like to thank all those people who posted information on the iso topic. the amount of knowledge that i have picked up has been absolutely amazing and it seems the problems experienced were all similar when it came to iso.

i needed some advice on the ISO TS 22000 Guidlines for the implementation of ISO
I want to know how useful is the guidelines?! is it worth purchasing to help in preparation for the audit?! some of the simple audit preparation plans that i have picked up form this forum have been absolutely amazing and im wondering if buying the guideline document will be a fruitless exercise.

Can you guys please assist.
Much appreciated

Hi QA Trainee, thanks for the feedback and welcome to the forums.


Has any member purchased ISO TS 22000 - if so what do you think, was it worth it?

Dear QA Trainee,

I can remember two posters at least commenting on this document. (from memory) one considered it excellent, the other thought it a waste of money so it's a draw so far. Maybe you can find a review on the IT somewhere. Probably won't be too long before a more readable version of I22k appears (every 5 years ?), could hardly be less scrambled. IMO, 22004 is amazingly intelligible compared to the Mothership but the damage had already been done.

Hi,

I found ISO TS 22000 useful. I don't know if I should say this, but I found it available on internet (after googling a little bit).

I found the English version, but if you can't find it there are other languages available, as spannish for example.

Maybe it's not worth it to buy it, but if you can take a look on it, you will take a few useful things out of the standard.
