TS ISO 22003-1
Food safety - Part 1: Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of food safety management systems
This document specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of a food safety management system (FSMS) complying with the requirements given in ISO 22000 (or other specified FSMS requirements). It also provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification of their suppliers has been granted.
Certification of FSMS is a third-party conformity assessment activity (as described in ISO/IEC 17000:2020, 4.3), and bodies performing this activity are third-party conformity assessment bodies.
NOTE 1 In this document, the terms “product” and “service” are used separately (in contrast with the definition of “product” given in ISO/IEC 17000).
NOTE 2 This document can be used as a criteria document for the accreditation or peer assessment of certification bodies which seek to be recognized as being competent to certify that an FSMS complies with ISO 22000 or other sets of specified FSMS requirements. It is also intended to be used as a criteria document by regulatory authorities and industry consortia which engage in direct recognition of certification bodies to certify that an FSMS complies with ISO 22000. Some of its requirements can also be useful to other parties involved in the conformity assessment of such certification bodies, and in the conformity assessment of bodies that undertake to certify the compliance of FSMS with criteria additional to, or other than, those in ISO 22000.
FSMS certification does not attest to the safety or fitness of the products of an organization within the food chain. However, an FSMS requires an organization to meet all applicable food-safety-related statutory and regulatory requirements through its management system.
NOTE 3 Certification of an FSMS according to ISO 22000 is a management system certification, not a product certification.
Other FSMS users can use the concepts and requirements of this document provided that the requirements are adapted as necessary.

About This Item
TS ISO 22003-1 sets requirements for bodies that audit and certify food safety management systems (FSMS). It focuses on how conformity with ISO 22000, or other specified FSMS requirements, is to be assessed within third-party certification, providing a common framework for evaluating the competence, impartiality, and consistency of certification bodies.
The technical framework for certification bodies
This document is centred on management system certification rather than product certification. In practical technical terms, the object being assessed is not a food product itself, but the organization’s system for controlling food-safety risks. That distinction matters: management system certification is about how processes are planned, implemented, maintained, and overseen. The standard also aims to provide customers with information and confidence about how their suppliers’ certification has been granted.
Where it is used and what it does not claim
- It can be used as a criteria document for certification bodies seeking accreditation or peer assessment for FSMS certification.
- It is intended for use by regulatory authorities and industry consortia that directly recognize certification bodies for ISO 22000 FSMS certification.
- Some requirements may also be useful to other parties involved in assessing certification bodies and related conformity assessment activities.
- The document uses the terms “product” and “service” separately, unlike the broader definition of “product” in ISO/IEC 17000.
FSMS certification under this standard does not certify that an organization’s products are themselves safe or fit for purpose. Rather, it addresses the management system used to meet applicable food-safety-related legal and regulatory requirements. For that reason, TS ISO 22003-1 is a key conformity assessment standard for organizations and evaluators involved in the certification of food safety management systems.
