Food Safety (HACCP & ISO 22000)
Scientific barrier frameworks securing food safety from farm to fork.
Food Safety Management (HACCP & ISO 22000)
Scientific barrier frameworks securing food safety from farm to fork.
What is HACCP & ISO 22000?
HACCP represents a proactive, preventive concept mapping biological, chemical, and physical food system risks from harvest to table. Rooted in NASA space food development (1960s with Pillsbury), it uses 7 key monitoring principles. ISO 22000 merges HACCP with structural management policies for global harmonization.
HACCP vs ISO 22000 Structure
While HACCP acts as a tactical food risk guide, ISO 22000 is an overarching management standard. It layers business communication channels, internal safety policies, board oversight responsibilities, and system updates over core HACCP principles.
Financial & Strategic Evaluation
- Purchasing national/international legislative documents and standards.
- Training multidisciplinary food safety teams on hazard assessments.
- Building/premise layout renovations: floor/wall updates, pest filters, ventilation, waste channels, clean employees' facilities.
- Investment in control hardware: metal detectors, temperature monitoring freezers, brining tools, personal hygiene stations, heat treatments.
- Compiling safety policies, prerequisite programmes (PRPs), and HACCP plans.
- Workspace testing, calibration, and routine product audit logs.
- Regular awareness refreshers matching updated safety legislation.
- Internal audit training for kitchen/processing managers.
- Periodic internal safety tests, mock recalls, and management review panels.
- Three-year international registrar licensing and verification fees.
- Two-stage registrar factory evaluation visit fees.
- Semi-annual surveillance audits.
- Travel, board, lodging, and logistics for registrar safety auditors.
- ✓Employee excellence, clearing path lines of authority and safety responsibilities.
- ✓Robust proactive defense path against pathogens and chemical risks.
- ✓Fewer customer complaints, protecting brand equity from safety recalls.
- ✓Acts as card of passage to become preferred supplier of premium supermarkets.
- ✓Compelling consumer confidence in food products.
Codex HACCP and ISO 22000 establish global health immunity templates.
Calibration and Quality Systems Consulting FAQ
Answers on calibration traceability, uncertainty, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, HACCP and ISO 22000 for visitors and search engines.
How do I choose the best calibration company for my instruments?
Choose a company whose documented capability matches your instrument and its intended use. Confirm the instrument type, operating range, required uncertainty and service location before accepting a quotation.
- Accreditation evidence: request the current scope and check the instrument, range and laboratory or on-site location it covers.
- Traceability: confirm the reference standards, requested calibration points and uncertainty suitable for the measurement.
- Certificate requirements: agree the reported results and any decision rule needed for a statement of conformity.
How are measurement uncertainty calculations built according to GUM principles?
| Stage | Technical control | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Define measurand, inputs, corrections, resolution, repeatability, and reference standard data. | Measurement equation |
| Combine | Convert Type A and Type B contributors into standard uncertainties and apply sensitivity coefficients. | Combined standard uncertainty |
| Expand | Apply the appropriate coverage factor, typically k=2 when justified for near 95% coverage. | Expanded uncertainty on certificate |
What is TEQ’s on-site calibration deployment protocol for industrial facilities?
TEQ plans on-site calibration as a controlled technical deployment so production downtime, environmental effects, instrument access, and traceability evidence are managed before the engineer arrives.
- Pre-visit scope review: instrument list, ranges, accuracy classes, location, and safety constraints.
- Deployment controls: stabilized standards, environmental readings, as-found/as-left data, and method selection.
- Closeout: certificate data review, uncertainty confirmation, nonconformity escalation, and recalibration interval advice.
Does TEQ provide ISO 9001 quality-management consulting?
Yes. TEQ presents ISO 9001 quality-management consulting covering background, implementation, recurring maintenance, audit and certification planning, and strategic benefits. See the Quality Systems Consulting section under Services for details.
Can TEQ advise on ISO 14001 environmental management systems?
TEQ provides environmental-management consulting information for ISO 14001, covering system implementation, reviews, monitoring, recurring costs, sensor calibration requirements and operational benefits. Confirm the project scope with TEQ.
Does TEQ support HACCP and ISO 22000 food-safety systems?
TEQ presents food-safety consulting for HACCP and ISO 22000, including risk prevention, facility preparation, ongoing controls, recordkeeping and certification-audit preparation. Contact TEQ for a tailored scope.
Where is TEQ’s calibration laboratory located in Egypt?
TEQ is based at 24 Dr Mahmoud Hob Allah Street, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt, postal code 11727. Contact TEQ before visiting or sending equipment to agree the required service and arrangements.
Is TEQ accredited by EGAC for calibration in Egypt?
TEQ holds EGAC accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, CAB 041701, for the activities, ranges, methods and locations in its current published scope. Accreditation does not cover every advertised service automatically. Check the official EGAC record and confirm your instrument with TEQ before ordering.
Can I request on-site calibration at my facility in Egypt?
Yes, you can enquire about on-site work. The published scope includes specified on-site activities for balances, pressure/vacuum and temperature systems. Send your city, equipment list, ranges and site conditions; TEQ will confirm travel availability and the applicable accredited scope in the quotation.
What should an Egyptian factory or laboratory include in a calibration request?
Include the instrument type and model, quantity, operating range, requested points, required uncertainty, location, preferred dates and whether accredited calibration or a conformity statement is required. State any pharmaceutical, food, energy, manufacturing or other sector requirements for technical review; a quotation must confirm the proposed work.
