TS ISO 22003-2
Food safety - Part 2: Requirements for bodies providing evaluation and certification of products, processes and services, including an audit of the food safety system
This document is supplemental to ISO/IEC 17065. It specifies the rules applicable for the audit of a food safety system (FSS) and certification of products, processes and services complying with requirements of a certification scheme that is based on the internationally accepted principles of food safety (e.g. CODEX General Principles of Food Hygiene[8]) and includes management system elements.
This document does not apply to certifications that are solely based on product testing (e.g. performed by an organization applying ISO/IEC 17025) or inspection (e.g. performed by an organization applying ISO/IEC 17020) and does not apply to ISO/IEC 17065-based food safety schemes that do not include both internationally accepted principles of food safety and management system elements.
It also provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification of their suppliers has been granted.
Certification of FSS 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 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 organization’s products, processes and services and its FSS comply with the requirements of a certification scheme. 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 organization’s FSS complies with a certification scheme’s requirements. 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 an FSS with additional criteria.
FSS certification does not attest to the safety or fitness of the products of an organization within the food chain. However, certification requires an organization to meet all applicable food-safety-related statutory and regulatory requirements through its FSS.

About This Item
TS ISO 22003-2 addresses the requirements for bodies that evaluate and certify products, processes and services, including an audit of the food safety system (FSS). As a supplement to ISO/IEC 17065, it sets the framework for how certification bodies demonstrate competence when operating certification schemes based on internationally accepted food safety principles and including management system elements.
Additional requirements for certification bodies
The standard does not apply to certifications based solely on product testing or solely on inspection. Its focus is on certification arrangements where product, process or service certification is linked to assessment of the organization’s food safety system as part of the same scheme. In practical terms, that means the certification decision is tied not only to the certified object, but also to how the organization manages food safety across its operations.
In general technical context, this type of third-party conformity assessment is used to give customers confidence in how suppliers have been certified. FSS certification, however, is not a statement that a product is inherently safe or fit for purpose on its own; it indicates that the organization’s food safety system is intended to meet applicable food-safety-related statutory and regulatory requirements within the scope of the scheme.
What this certification model covers
- Adds requirements on top of ISO/IEC 17065 for certification bodies.
- Targets schemes based on generally accepted food safety principles.
- Applies where product, process and service certification includes management system elements.
- Can serve as a criteria document for accreditation, peer assessment or recognition.
- Does not cover schemes based only on product testing or only on inspection.
