What are the differences between ISO 22000:2005 and ISO 22000:2018?
ISO 22000 is a standard that provides a framework for food safety management systems The latest version of the standard is ISO 22000:2018, which replaced ISO 22000:2005. Here are some key differences between the two versions:
High-level structure: ISO 22000:2018 uses a high-level structure (HLS), which is consistent with other ISO management system standards This makes it easier for organizations to integrate their food safety management system with other management systems.
Risk-based approach: ISO 22000:2018 requires a more detailed and systematic approach to risk assessment and management, compared to the 2005 version The standard emphasizes the importance of identifying and assessing all types of risk, including biological, chemical, and physical hazards
Clarification of key terms: ISO 22000:2018 includes a glossary of key terms and definitions, which helps to ensure consistency and clarity in the interpretation and implementation of the standard
Emphasis on communication: ISO 22000:2018 places greater emphasis on communication throughout the food supply chain, including communication with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders This helps to ensure that food safety requirements are clearly understood and implemented by all parties
Expansion of scope: ISO 22000:2018 expands the scope of the standard beyond the traditional food industry to include other sectors, such as animal feed production, primary production, and transportation
Overall, ISO 22000:2018 represents an evolution of the food safety management system framework established by the 2005 version, with a greater emphasis on risk-based thinking, communication, and alignment with other ISO management system standards
