IS/ISO/TS 22002 : Part 1 : 2009 : Prerequisite Programmes on Food Safety Part 1 Food Manufacturing

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) which is identical with ISO/TS 22002-1 : 2009 ‘Prerequisite programmes on food safety - Part 1: Food manufacturing’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Food Hygiene, Safety Management and Other Systems Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.

An ISO/Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting a vote, whereas International Standard (ISO) requires approval by at least 3/4 of the member bodies casting a vote. An ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 has been reviewed and confirmed in 2012 by the concerned ISO committee.

This ISO/TS will be reviewed again after three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn.

The text of ISO/Technical Specification has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma(,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
