    Regarding comments about ISO, please do not forget that the Seafood
    HACCP requirements for food safety are recognized by international
    regulatory agencies, such as the E.U. and the U.S & Canada.

     

    This allows for business (selling of product) to be conducted on an
    international basis.

    The ISO (9001, 22000, 140001, etc) is the first step to TQM.

     

    There are guidelines to help you in the design of your System. The way
    you set-up, implement and make your system leaving is up to you.

     

    You can be certified ISO XXXX but not getting a very operational system.
    The key is commitment. And of course monitoring...

     

    ISO 22000 is a very flexible system, it is a great advantage for the
    developing countries. If you look at BRC, the standard is recognized in
    UK and demands a lot of physical investments e.g. the plastic used in
    processing shall be blue, etc.

    The ISO is based on a systematic risk assessments, the system is at the
    service of the process, not the process at the service of the system.
    Furthermore, it pushes the processor to perform a continuous improvement
    by legislative and technological surveys... However, you won't be judged
    on the cover (except in the case of the PRPs) but on the contents e.g.
    the results...

     

    Kind regards,

    I agree with Jan's opinion too. The recent ISO system necessarily
    takes into account, customer satisfaction/evaluation/feedback, quality
    improvements, establishing standards/benchmarks, improvement in all
    areas including HR etc... which clearly means we have to be aiming for
    better and better quality standards. Therefore ISO is not "consistent
    quality" but "consistently improving quality". This is achived by taking
    up annual quality objectives, performance objectives and periodically
    reviewing the same with measurable evidence. This also means we need to
    consider "food safety" as one of the key quality objective in current
    ISO system.
