ISO TC 34 Working Group 8, the people working on the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management Standard met on January 6th in Copenhagen.

John Surak a member of the team reports:

"It was a good meeting and we are making some progress. The structure has been changed significantly from the material that I provided to you. I expect that we will see additional changes in both the content and the structure. As soon as we have a standard that can be distributed, I will send you additional information."

Well not much I know...but I'm sure a draft of ISO 22000 will be available shortly and we'll post a copy here and on the website as soon as we get hold of one.

Check back soon.

Simon

Hey Simon,

Thanks Hendrik, when a draft is available I'm sure we will have a lot more discussion on the subject.

Just for information I contacted John Surak over the weekend to see if DIS ISO 22000 was available yet. I'll let you know the outcome.

If anyone else has anything to share...

See below for latest news on ISO22000 - 15 March 2004

SaferPak:
"I just thought I would touch base to see if you have any news regarding DIS ISO 22000?"

John Surak:
"Things are going slow on the development of ISO 22000. Your comments were included in the US comments. We had a meeting in Sept. There were 106 pages of comments around the world. Rick Stier and I looked at all of the comments, and incorporated them into a suggested revision. We met in Copenhagen in Sept. The leader allowed the first two days of general discussion, on day three he presented the work Rick and I did, and there was some acceptance, however, the group wanted to look at the comments in more detail.

We met one more day and started to get some additional consensus. At that time, the WG decided not to adjourn the meeting, but put the meeting into recess. As a result a European committee headed by Danish Standards, took what was accomplished and started to polish the standard. (it is still in committee draft).

We re-met in January to reconvene the meeting, and to look at the work Danish Standards did. There was improvement in the standard. However, there were some problems. An international subcommittee is currently making revisions. Once done it will go back to the WG to vote whether to raise the CD to a DIS or to publish a CD2. I do not know which way the vote will go. Once we have either CD2 or DIS, I will keep you informed on the developments."

we have recently had an ISO audit, carried out by BSI.

I asked our auditor about ISO 22000 Food Safety Management.
BSI are doing a series of one day course to provide an understanding of the new standard.

The next 3 courses are scheduled as follows:
19 April - London
14 May - York
30 June - Edinburgh

Apparently it is on target to be issued in early 2005

For more information on the course check out the BSI website

www.bsi-training.com

Hope this is useful

Hi Nadine, I hope you are well. :)

They don't miss a trick do they? BSI have either scheduled the courses based on the fact that a draft of the standard should be available before 19 April...or they know something the rest of us don't.

Either way the standards moneymaking machine is cranking up!

Thanks Nadine.

Hello Simon. Do you know if there is any formation about the new iso 22000 available in spain righ now?

[Simon]

Hi Henry,

I did what you probably have done already and ran a search for 'iso 22000' on google. Best I can do I'm afraid: Google Spanish Results

Have you contacted the Spanish Food Standards Agency or other relevant organisations to see if they have any information?

Simon

Hi Henry,

The last communication we received was on 16 March 2004.

It probably doesn't answer your questions on the number of revisions there will be from CD to DIS, I think for this we will just have to be patient.
