HIGH LEVEL STRUCTURE (HLS) ISO 22000:2018 is aligned with the HLS convention required for all new or amended ISO management system standards. This makes it easier to integrate ISO 22000 with other ISO management standards, such as ISO 9001 – . HLS ensures all management system standards have a common clause structure, making implementation easier as it follows a step-by-step process: These are: CLAUSE 9: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION 22000 awareness and implementation • Measurement and evaluation of food training for businesses around the CLAUSE 1: SCOPE safety management system world, helping them understand the certification process and how to CLAUSE 2: NORMATIVE REFERENCES • Internal audits implement the standard’s requirements. • Management review CLAUSE 3: TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Delivered in person or online, using CLAUSE 4: CONTEXT OF THE ORGANIZATION CLAUSE 10: IMPROVEMENT innovative learning and development solutions, we can tailor courses to meet How the company establishes its FSMS • Non-conformity and corrective action your training objectives. and begins the process of identifying the • Continual improvement business risks that exist.
