The development of this document was agreed at the December meeting of the WG. In case anyone missed it I've repeated the content of the last message I gave on ISO 22000 below.
Update on ISO 22000.
Working group 8 - who are developing 22000 met on the 13th, 14th and 15th December 2004 and discussed the various comments submitted on the draft. A follow up meet is due to talk place on the 13th and 14th January 2005 after that the Final Draft should be issued to ISO Central Secretariat for voting.
'Headlines' from the meeting:
· Use of infrastructure and maintenance PRPs and operational PRPs
· Number of "legs"
· Clarification concerning operational PRPs and CCPs
· Validation and verification of PRPs
· Alignment with Codex
· Improvement and simplification of language
· Small businesses
· The concept of risk
· New definitions
· Clause orders in 8
· Keep the standard as a management standard - not a food standard
· The standard should be more process oriented to be consistent with ISO 9001
· Retailer acceptance important
· EU regulation should not be repeated
· More general approach - the standard should be suitable for all kinds of organizations in the food chain
· Annex A - publish a separate document
· Move some text from Annex A to main document if a separate document is published
· New figures
Changes to the following clauses were agreed upon:
· 1 Scope
· 2 Normative references (no changes)
· 4 Food safety management system
· 5 Management responsibility
· 6 Resource management
· 7.3 Preliminary steps to enable hazard analysis
· 7.4 Hazard analysis
· 8 Validation, verification and improvement of the food safety management system (except first sentence of 8.1)
Other clauses will be discussed in Jan. I understand principles have already been agreed on a number of the comments in smaller working groups.
The retailer acceptance of ISO 22000 was discussed. It was mentioned that two out of three key elements are fulfilled according to GFSI requirements (management and HACCP) but requirements concerning GMPs are not sufficient. Drafting technical specifications concerning GMP, GAP etc, may solve this.
The Working Group will be presenting to GFSI in Rome in February.
Besides development of ISO 22000 it was agreed that certification schemes, auditor qualifications etc. should be developed. A first draft for a future work item is being put together.
It was decided that Annex A is to be converted into an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS 22002). The content of TS 22002 will concentrate on interpretation of ISO 22000, guidance on how to use it, indirect suppliers of the food chain, small- and medium sized businesses and examples illustrating the flexibility of ISO 22000. Japan is leading the drafting of the TS. The deadline for publication is the same as for ISO 22000 (September 2005).
