Food Safety Management Systems - Requirements for Bodies Providing Audit and Certification of Food Safety Management Systems.
ISO/TS 22003:2007 defines the rules applicable for the audit and certification of a food safety management system (FSMS) complying with the requirements given in ISO22000:2005 or other sets of specified FSMS requirements. It provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification of their suppliers has been granted.
FSMS certification does not attest to the safety or fitness of the products of an organisation within the food chain. However, ISO22000:2005 requires an organisation to meet all applicable food-safety-related statutory and regulatory requirements through its management system.
