TS EN ISO 22000/A1

TS EN ISO 22000/A1. OFFICIAL SCOPE IS UNAVAILABLE. This amendment relates to the climate-action updates associated with the food safety management systems standard for organizations in the food chain. The ISO 22000 family uses a management-system approach to control food safety across the chain, from raw materials and processing to storage, transport, and distribution, so its focus is on how an organization manages its processes and interfaces rather than on a single product category.

Food safety management system context

Food safety management systems bring together hazard identification, control measures, traceability, communication, and continual improvement. For organizations in the food chain, this approach provides a framework for managing physical, chemical, and biological risks across interconnected operations. The value of ISO 22000 lies in treating food safety as a chain-wide management issue, not only as a factory-line concern.

This A1 amendment updates the climate-action related changes linked to the parent standard rather than restating the full standard itself. Climate change can affect food systems through raw material availability, logistics conditions, water use, storage expectations, and supply continuity. In that sense, the climate-action context is important for understanding how food safety management interacts with changing environmental conditions.

• Directed at organizations operating in the food chain.
• Built around a food safety management system approach.
• An amendment covering climate-action related updates.
• A companion to the parent management system standard, not a product specification.
• It should be read in the context of the parent standard, not as a standalone full requirement set.
