Instruction to Lead Auditor

1.  Use this audit record and checklist to determine the emphasis for the ISO 22000 audit.

2.  Refer to ISO 22000:2005 for the full description of requirements.

3.  ISO 22000 follows the standard CI assessment process.

4.  The stage 1 emphasis is for the collection of evidence of preparedness and appropriate FSMS development. If evidence is available place a tick in the stage 1 column against the requirement or make reference to specific observations or NCs raised.

The stage 2 emphasis is for collection of evidence of implementation and use of the developed FSMS. If evidence is available place a tick in the stage 2 column against the requirement or make reference to specific observations or NCs raised.

The surveillance record may be considered as a sample of the stage 2 requirements. Show coverage of all stage 2 implementation requirements at least once within a 3 year cycle by using form F044 FSMS

5.  Include the completed audit record and checklist with the audit report, which should include:

¨  Audit report summary sheet, RP1
