The certification body conducts the ISO 22000 certification audit; if the business’s food safety management system is suitable and meets the requirements of the ISO 22000:2018 standard, the certification body issues the ISO 22000 certificate to the business.

ISO 22000 Certification Process at Good Vietnam
The ISO 22000 certification assessment process and the issuance of ISO 22000 certificates by the NATIONAL CERTIFICATION OFFICE are carried out through the following steps to ensure objective certification in accordance with standard requirements:
Step 1: Information exchange between customer and signing of certification contract
The purpose of ISO 22000 information exchange between the certification body and the customer is to ensure that the information previously exchanged between the two parties is consistent, ensuring that the certification assessment is in accordance with the requirements of the Standard and the customer.
Step 2: Preliminary assessment
– Businesses submit the following documents to the ISO 22000 certification body: Application for certification, ISO 22000 plans, documents, and records related to the implementation of ISO 22000.
– The certification body assigns experts in the corresponding field to evaluate the actual status of the ISO 22000 certificate application dossier to identify weaknesses in the documented information and the practical application of the ISO 22000 system. After preliminary review and assessment, the experts must point out issues related to documented information and the practical application of ISO 22000 that need to be rectified so that the business can make timely corrections. This preliminary assessment step is very beneficial for the business as it serves as a guiding framework for the official assessment step.

How much does ISO 22000 Certification cost?
The cost of assessing and issuing an ISO 22000 certificate depends on many factors, including the size and scope of the business, geographical location, the level of preparation and readiness of the business, the time and effort required to achieve the standard, and the assessment body.
Some assessment bodies offer different service packages with varying fees. However, the cost of assessing and issuing an ISO 22000 certificate can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of US dollars, depending on the factors mentioned above.
For more specific cost information, businesses should contact assessment bodies and ISO certification service providers for detailed information and quotations.
How long is the ISO 22000 certificate valid?
The validity of the ISO 22000 certification/certificate is 03 years.
During the validity period of the certificate, the certification body will conduct periodic surveillance audits to ensure that the certified management system complies with the requirements of the ISO 22000 certification/certificate standard and remains effective.
The surveillance cycle can be 6-9 months or a maximum of 12 months, depending on the certification body’s regulations and the agreement between the client and the certification body. If certification is desired after 3 years, the organization must reapply for assessment. The re-assessment is conducted similarly to the initial certification assessment. The re-issued ISO 22000 certificate is valid for 03 years.
The validity period of the ISO 22000 certificate depends on the requirements of the assessment body as well as national local regulations. Typically, an ISO 22000 certificate is valid for three years from the date of issue.
During the validity period of the certificate, businesses will need to conduct internal audits to ensure that their quality and food safety management system continues to meet the requirements of the ISO 22000 standard. After the expiration date, businesses will have to repeat the assessment and new certification process if they wish to maintain their certification.
However, while holding ISO 22000 certification, businesses must always comply with the standard’s requirements and carry out continuous improvement activities to ensure they meet the highest requirements for food safety and product quality.
