What to include in the ISO 22000 FSMS manual as per the 2018 version?
Dear All ,
I have been redoing the FSMS manual as per the 2018 version. My question is what exactly should level I contain ? apart from the scope , R&A, organogram etc.. Why do most of the level 1 manual have the same sentences as standard with only the company name instead of the word organization ,
for example the standard states ,

for example the standard states ,
"The organization shall determine external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose and that affect its ability to achieve the intended result(s) of its FSMS. " and in the level 1 manual, it states " Cibus Technologies shall determine external and internal issues .................................result(s) of its FSMS .is it a method of internalization of the standard ?Please let me know .
Hi ganeshkashinath,
Not sure what you mean by "level 1 manual" ? or internalisation ?
The "Quality manual" per se is sometimes also designated a "Policy Manual".
Minimally It contains responses stating how the "requirements" of the Standard will be met.
One (minimalistic) response is therefore to "reverse engineer" the text of the Standard. (maybe = internalization ?)
Hi , apologies for the late reply .
Thank you Charles for the information . I address how the requirements are met in SOP at level II . Most of the manuals I have come across , just change the statement as I mentioned in the original post and refer to level l . I am not able to get the logic behind it .
Also . can you give an example of the standard being reverse engineered ,
Best Regards,
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
I think I deduce that yr Level 1 is the Quality Manual and level 2 contains related Procedures. This is a common approach.
It appears that yr quoted Quality Manual has utilised an even simpler compositional technique than the example I give below. But perhaps more semantically/auditorially questionable
A simple example of reverse engineering for iso22000:2018 -
5.3.1 The assignment, communication and understanding regarding the responsibilities and authorities for appropriate roles have been ensured by Top management.
