Our consultants help food manufacturers, processors, caterers, restaurants, hotels, cold stores, logistics companies, packaging suppliers, ingredient suppliers, seafood businesses, distributors and other food-chain organizations establish and implement an effective Food Safety Management System (FSMS).

For organizations searching for ISO 22000 Certification in Oman, Qdot provides the consultancy and implementation support needed to prepare for an independent certification audit. Our work can include gap analysis, prerequisite-program review, food-safety hazard analysis, process-flow verification, documentation, staff training, operational implementation, internal audit, management review and certification-audit readiness.

Our ISO 22000 consultancy services are available across Oman, including Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, Duqm, Nizwa, Sur, Barka, Rusayl, Samail, Al Buraimi, Ibri, Musandam and other food-production, hospitality, fisheries, logistics, warehousing and industrial locations.

What Is ISO 22000?

ISO 22000 is the international standard for Food Safety Management Systems. It is designed for organizations in the food chain that need a structured system for identifying food safety hazards, establishing suitable controls, managing prerequisite programs, communicating food-safety information, verifying system performance and continually improving food-safety management.

The standard can be used by organizations of different sizes and at different points in the food chain. It is relevant not only to food manufacturers and processors, but also to catering, hospitality, transport, cold storage, packaging, ingredients, distribution, retail support and other organizations whose activities can influence food safety.

ISO 22000 Consultancy and ISO 22000 Certification Are Different

Qdot provides ISO 22000 consultancy, implementation, training, internal-audit and certification-readiness support. The ISO 22000 certificate itself is issued by an independent certification body after the organization completes the required certification audit and the certification body makes its certification decision.

Where required, Qdot can help clients understand certification-body options, prepare for audit activities and coordinate the certification process while maintaining the necessary independence between consultancy and certification.

ISO 22000 Implementation Process in Oman

1. Initial Consultation and FSMS Scope

We review the organization's food-chain role, products, processes, locations, customers, legal and customer requirements, existing HACCP/GMP controls and target certification scope.

2. ISO 22000 Gap Analysis

Qdot compares current food-safety practices with ISO 22000 requirements to identify strengths, missing controls, documentation gaps and implementation priorities.

3. Food-Chain Process Mapping

We map the process from receiving through storage, preparation or production, processing, packing, dispatch and distribution as relevant to the business. Process-flow diagrams are checked against actual operations.

4. Prerequisite Program Review

We review the basic environmental and operational conditions needed for safe food production or handling. These may include cleaning and sanitation, pest control, personnel hygiene, maintenance, zoning, waste, utilities, storage, allergen controls and other sector-relevant PRPs.

5. Hazard Analysis and Control Measures

The food-safety team identifies reasonably expected hazards, evaluates their significance and determines appropriate control measures. Where required, controls are categorized into OPRPs and CCPs using the organization's defined methodology.

6. FSMS Documentation

We develop or improve the policies, procedures, plans, specifications, forms, monitoring records and supporting documents needed to operate the Food Safety Management System effectively.

7. Training and Awareness

Relevant employees receive awareness and role-based training so they understand food-safety hazards, control measures, monitoring responsibilities, escalation routes and required records.

8. Practical Implementation

The organization begins operating the system and generating evidence through monitoring, supplier controls, sanitation records, temperature or process records, traceability tests, corrective actions and other applicable activities.

9. Validation and Verification

Control measures and combinations of control measures are validated where required, while verification activities confirm that the FSMS and hazard-control plan are being implemented as intended.

10. Internal Audit

An internal audit evaluates conformity and implementation before the external certification audit.

11. Management Review

Top management reviews food-safety performance, audit results, objectives, incidents, complaints, verification results, changes, resources, corrective actions and improvement opportunities.

12. Certification Audit Readiness

Qdot reviews evidence, open issues, food-safety team preparedness and audit readiness before the independent certification body audit.

13. Post-Certification Support

After certification, Qdot can support surveillance audits, internal audits, system updates, corrective actions, traceability/recall testing, training and continual improvement.

Key Elements of an ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System

• Context of the organization and defined FSMS scope.
• Leadership, food-safety policy, roles and responsibilities.
• Risks and opportunities affecting the management system.
• Food-safety objectives and planning.
• Resources, competence, awareness, communication and documented information.
• Prerequisite programs appropriate to the organization and food-chain activity.
• Product, process and intended-use information needed for hazard analysis.
• Hazard identification and assessment.
• Control-measure selection, categorization and management through OPRPs and CCPs where applicable.
• Critical limits or action criteria as appropriate to the selected controls.
• Monitoring systems, corrections and corrective actions.
• Traceability and emergency preparedness.
• Withdrawal and recall arrangements.
• Validation of control measures and verification of the FSMS.
• Internal audit, management review and continual improvement.

ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP and FSSC 22000 - How They Relate

ISO 22000 includes internationally recognized food-safety management principles and incorporates HACCP-based hazard analysis within a broader management-system framework. HACCP focuses on identifying and controlling food-safety hazards, while GMP and prerequisite programs establish the basic hygienic and operational conditions that support safe production and handling.

FSSC 22000 is a separate certification scheme that uses ISO 22000 together with applicable sector-specific prerequisite-program requirements and additional scheme requirements. Organizations should choose between ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, HACCP, GMP or a combination based on customer expectations, supply-chain requirements, sector, export market and certification objective.

ISO 22000 Certification Process in Oman

Once the Food Safety Management System has been implemented and sufficient evidence is available, the organization can proceed to independent certification. The exact audit process depends on the certification body, certification scope, number of sites and complexity of the food-chain activity.

• Confirm the ISO 22000 certification scope and applicable sites.
• Implement the Food Safety Management System and maintain evidence that controls are operating.
• Complete internal audit and management review activities.
• Select an appropriate independent certification body.
• Complete Stage 1 or the certification body's initial documentation/readiness review where applicable.
• Address any issues before the main certification audit.
• Complete the Stage 2 certification audit.
• Address any nonconformities within the certification body's required timeframe.
• Receive certification following the certification body's successful review and decision process.
• Maintain the FSMS and prepare for surveillance audits and later recertification.
