Do Establishments with ISO Certification Need to Apply for Certification of Food Safety Eligibility?

According to the provisions at Point k Clause 1 Article 12 of Decree 15/2018/ND-CP, the following establishments are not subject to the issuance of the Certificate of eligibility for food safety:

Establishments that have been granted one of the following certificates: Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Food Safety Management System ISO 22000, International Featured Standards (IFS), British Retail Consortium Global Standards (BRC), Food Safety System Certification (FSSC 22000) or equivalent that is still valid.

Therefore, since your company has a Food Safety Management System ISO 22000 certificate, it does not need to apply for a Certificate of eligibility for food safety.

However, your company must comply with the relevant food safety assurance conditions.

Respectfully!
