INTRODUCTION
The standard ISO 22000 was published on June 19, 2018.
This new version, still based on the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point), specifies the requirements of a food safety management system. Originally published in 2005, its revision had become necessary. The aim was to simplify the standard and make it more concise. Certain concepts needed to be clarified, and certain terms and definitions updated. One of the objectives was also to align ISO 22000 with other ISO management system standards (9001, 14001 and 45001, to name but the best-known) by integrating new management approaches (context analysis, interested parties, risks and opportunities).
Within ISO/TC 34/SC 17, over 35 countries actively participated in this revision.
The aim of this article is to help users of ISO 22000 to understand the changes and to plan their actions to comply with the new requirements. ISO 22000 remains the one and only international standard for food safety management. Its use (or even certification) is always an undeniable advantage for an organization operating in an agri-food sector all too often impacted by health crises.
