ISO 22000 Heavy Metal Risk Assessment in Food Packaging: Laboratory Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

The ISO 22000 standard for food safety management systems is a widely adopted international standard that ensures the safety and quality of food products. The standard requires organizations involved in the production, processing, and distribution of food to implement a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating risks associated with foodborne hazards.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The European Union (EU) has implemented several regulations related to food safety, including Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs. This regulation requires food businesses to implement a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). The EU also has specific regulations for heavy metal limits in food products, such as Commission Regulation (EU) No 1881/2006.

International and National Standards

The following international standards are relevant to ISO 22000 Heavy Metal Risk Assessment in Food Packaging testing:

  • ISO 22000:2018 - Food safety management systems -- Requirements for any organization in the food chain

  • ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management systems -- Requirements

  • EN 16156:2007 - Foodstuffs -- Sampling and sample preparation methods for heavy metals

    • National standards may also apply, such as the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) standard TS EN 16156:2007.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The following organizations are involved in the development of ISO 22000 standards:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to develop and update international and national standards related to food safety management systems.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changing regulations, new technologies, and emerging risks. The ISO 22000 standard is revised every few years to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in ensuring food safety.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers are relevant to ISO 22000 Heavy Metal Risk Assessment in Food Packaging testing:

  • ISO 22000:2018 - Food safety management systems -- Requirements for any organization in the food chain

  • EN 16156:2007 - Foodstuffs -- Sampling and sample preparation methods for heavy metals

    • These standards specify requirements for organizations involved in the production, processing, and distribution of food to ensure the safety and quality of their products.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Organizations involved in food packaging must comply with relevant international and national standards related to food safety management systems. Compliance with these standards is essential to ensure the safety and quality of food products and to avoid legal and regulatory consequences.
