ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System Certification
- Duration
- Setup 4-6 months · audit 1-2 months
ISO 22000:2018 — food safety management system standard. Combines HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) principles with the ISO management system structure. In Türkiye, it's the gold standard for compliance with the Turkish Food Codex + Law No. 5996; for food exporters, it's effectively mandatory for EU market access.
Asil's consulting role: hazard analysis, critical control points, documentation, accompaniment for accredited body audit.
§1 Who needs it?
- Food producers — meat, dairy, bakery, beverages, ready-meals, spices
- Food packaging + logistics — cold chain + packaging material producers
- Catering + collective dining
- Exporter SMEs — de facto requirement for EU + Gulf market entry
- Runs in parallel with Halal certification for food firms
§2 Relationship with HACCP
ISO 22000 = HACCP + prerequisite programmes + ISO management structure.
When HACCP alone isn't enough:
- Major chain retail supplier (BİM, Migros, A101 require ISO 22000)
- EU export (HACCP mandatory but ISO 22000 stronger market signal)
- Public tenders (military logistics, university canteens)
Asil plans both certifications together — single documentation set.
§3 Process
| Step | Duration |
|---|---|
| Hazard analysis (biological, chemical, physical) | 3-4 weeks |
| Prerequisite programmes (PRP) — hygiene, cleaning, pest control | 4-6 weeks |
| Identifying critical control points (CCP) | 2-3 weeks |
| Documentation (food safety manual, procedures) | 4-6 weeks |
| Staff training (especially CCP officers) | 2 weeks |
| Internal audit | 2 weeks |
| Accredited body audit | 4-6 weeks |
| Certificate issuance | 4-6 weeks |
Total: 4-6 months.
§4 Combined with Halal Certification
For food firms, ISO 22000 + Halal Certification (HAK accredited) is a natural pairing — Asil runs both together. Shared documentation (raw material control + hygiene) serves both processes. See our Halal Certification page.
§5 Common challenges
- Supplier audit overlooked — ISO 22000 covers your suppliers as well. Raw material suppliers must have food safety certifications.
- CCP monitoring lapses — temperature logs, pH records, cleaning forms must be kept daily.
- Staff turnover — training repeats with every new hire.
§6 KOSGEB + Ministry of Agriculture support
- KOSGEB Certification Support (SME): 50-75% reimbursement
- Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry — food safety certification grants
- TKDK (Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution): EU IPA funds
