IAF ConsultancyISO 22000 certification helps a construction business only when food is actually in the company’s control: a camp kitchen, a site canteen, or a contract that includes feeding people. Building a food factory does not make the builder a food business.
Why Does ISO 22000 Matter for Construction?
Putting ISO 22000 on a general contractor’s certificate to look complete is a scope error. Auditors will sample the food operation named in the scope. If that operation is a subcontractor’s kitchen, the contract and the control have to be real.
What Does an ISO 22000 Audit Sample?
A food safety audit follows a product or a meal through the hazards that can make it unsafe, including the prerequisite programmes around it.
- The menu or meal service that is in scope, not the construction method.
- A hazard such as temperature, allergens, or water, and its control.
- Who is allowed to run the kitchen, including any caterer.
How Does Certification Help the Business?
- Camps and canteens can be certified without dragging the whole trade into scope.
- Clients who buy catering-plus-construction can see the food system.
- The building work stays out of a standard that does not apply to it.
How Do You Start?
Certification with IAF Consultancy begins with an application. The offer names the scope, the days, and the price. Stage 1 reviews the documented system. Stage 2 samples the system in operation. When the audit supports certification, an accredited certification body issues the certificate. IAF Consultancy does not issue it. The sequence is described in how certification works.
The same standard in manufacturing and healthcare is a different operation, with a different scope. The full comparison is in how ISO certification helps businesses.
