ISO To Develop New Food Safety Standard

摘要

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is writing a new standard on food safety. Food Safety Management Systems— Requirements for Organizations Throughout the Food Chain will be published by the end of 2005 and will bear the number 22000. Dennis Arter, ASQ's divisions/forums liaison to the U.S. Standards Group, reports, "The document reads quite well (for an international standard). It does a fine job of combining quality management system (QMS) concepts from ISO 9001:2000 with the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) concepts developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission."
