HACCP—Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points—are critical to have complained with national or international food safety legalization. HACCP certification is for food manufacturing and it is required for any food business or organization carrying out any or all of the following activities: preparation, processing, manufacturing, packaging, storage, transportation, distribution, handling or offering for sale or supply of foodstuffs.

It provides a risk-based approach that supports other management systems standards across the food industry—like ISO 22000 Food Safety Management. It helps you identify hazards and manage the same with appropriate control systems across the food supply chain.





According to EU Directive 93/43/EEC on Food Hygiene all food business operators in the European Union shall implement HACCP. They shall ensure that adequate safety procedures are identified, documented, maintained, and reviewed on the basis of the principles used to develop the system of HACCP.


The Joint FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission describes a series of steps, including the 7 HACCP principles giving guidance for the application of the HACCP system. The General Principles of Food Hygiene, as recommended by Codex, form an intrinsic part of this document ‘Requirements for a HACCP-based Food Safety System’.


The 7 principles and the guidelines for the application of HACCP have been combined with basic elements of quality management systems (ISO 9000) to establish the Requirements for a HACCP based Food Safety System. HACCP ‘Requirements’ are not intended for application by suppliers and / or service companies to food businesses, like suppliers of packaging, food equipment, industrial cleaning services, etc.



Scope And Application for HACCP Food Certification

The food business operator shall define the extent (the scope) of the HACCP system.

The scope shall comprise that part of the food chain and those activities of the food business for which the food operator is responsible and can be held liable:

The part of the food chain for which the food business operator is responsible begins where the responsibility of the suppliers of raw materials and ingredients ends; the responsibility of the food business operator ends where another food business in the food chain takes over the responsibility. The scope shall therefore conform to purchase and sales contracts;

All locations and process lines where food is manufactured and/or stored by the food business shall be properly indicated and be available for assessment;

All products which are supplied to the market by the food business, whether processed or handled, shall be properly specified;

All subcontracted activities (outsourced services, like packaging, storage, transport) shall be properly dealt with.
