Normally you make a decision on which standard to become certified to based on customer requirements, industry, country of operation and personal preference. The major food safety management system standards in the world are BRC, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, SQF 2000. They are all very similar and have HACCP at their core. In the UK if you supply retailers the standard to go for is BRC, if you don't and have no plans to then you are free to choose which you go for.

Personally in the UK I would go for BRC as it is the most widely recognised.

Dear Michael Morgan,

I do not see any idea as to yr technical background. I presume you hv a reasonable grounding in HACCP. If not, you can expect a significant effort although i expect yr company has had to dig into this area already. One disdvantage in ISO22000, IMO, is that you will hv to extend yr theoretical HACCP knowledge base in this respect. How much depends on yr product / process and (probably)the ability of yr consultant. Some differences between the standards are quickly revealed by a quick scan through this forum eg see this thread -

Offhand, i would hv guessed that the existing take-up in UK is BRC dominant, ISO22000 a rather distant runner-up and the other competitors one further lap behind People in UK should hv a more accurate idea. As Simon implied, the choice has so far been a customer-driven decision in most cases, especially if you are in retail.
