ISO 22000 sets out specific food safety requirements for organizations in the food chain. One such requirement is that organizations establish, implement and maintain prerequisite programmes (PRPs) to assist in controlling food safety hazards.
This document does not duplicate the requirements given in ISO 22000 and is intended to be used when establishing, implementing and maintaining the PRPs specific to the organization(s) in conjunction with ISO 22000:2018, 8.2.
This document comprises the common PRPs from the prior sector-specific series ISO 22002-1, ISO 22002-2, ISO 22002-4, ISO 22002-5, ISO 22002-6 and the new ISO 22002-7, which have been extracted into this document in order to provide a unified understanding of PRPs across sectors and to simplify PRPs for organizations operating in multiple sectors. Where unique sector-specific PRPs remain, or a new sector is added with unique PRPs, these are provided in the other parts of the ISO 22002 series, which are designed to be used in conjunction with this document.
