Edition2025

What is this standard?

Defines prerequisite programmes (PRPs) for food, feed and packaging, forming the foundation for ISO 22000 implementation.

Who is it for?

Manufacturers of food, feed and food-contact packaging.

What triggers an assessment?

  • Prerequisite programmes are needed for ISO 22000 or a food scheme.
  • Hygiene, infrastructure and maintenance requirements need to be evidenced.
  • A buyer audit has identified PRP gaps.

What does it not replace?

  • It is not a food safety certificate on its own; it is assessed together with ISO 22000 or a scheme.
  • It does not substitute for food business registration or approval.
