ISO 22000:2005 FSMS (Food Safety Management System)

ISO 22000 specifies requirements for a Food Safety Management System where an organization in the food chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption.
ISO 22000 specifies requirements to enable an organization to plan, implement, operate, maintain and update a food safetymanagement system aimed at providing products that, according to their intended use, are safe for the consumer:
•  To demonstrate compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory food safety requirements
•  To evaluate and assess customer requirements and demonstrate conformity with those mutually agreed customer requirements that relate to food safety, in order to enhance customer satisfaction,
•  To effectively communicate food safety issues to their suppliers, customers and relevant interested parties in the food chain,
•  To ensure that the organization conforms to its stated food safety policy,
•  To demonstrate such conformity to relevant interested parties, and to seek certification or registration of its Food Safety Management System by an external organization, or make a self-assessment or self-declaration of conformity to ISO 22000.

ISO 17025 (Laboratory Quality Management System for accreditation)

ISO 17025 is the leading international laboratory quality management system (QMS) standard. ISO 17025 promotes cooperation between laboratories and other bodies to assist in the exchange of information & experience and the harmonization of standards & procedural goals.As a rule, within an organization any technology should be subjected to calibration & testing and measured by a sampling scheme that results in data collection and analysis. It is then possible to gauge the effect on the activities or goods produced and plan appropriately for improvement.

Benefits of ISO 9001:2008 QMS


Benefits of ISO 9001 Certification
The ISO 9001 standard outlines a process approach to implementing and supporting a quality management system. As a result, there is increased involvement of top management with regards to the Quality Management System.
Top Management is engaged for the setting of the Quality Policy and Quality Goals and Objectives. It continues with Management Review looking at data from the QMS, and taking actions to make sure that Quality Goals are met, new Goals are set, and continual improvement is achieved.

The Role of the QMS System in Achieving ISO 9001 and ISO 9000 Certification
With the QMS in place and working for you, the organization is focused towards the Quality Goals. Management is provided with data on a continual basis and able to see progress or lack of progress towards goals and take appropriate action. The organized, scheduled process of conducting Management Review ensures that this evaluation takes place. It provides the mechanism of reviewing goals and performance against goals on a scheduled basis, and for taking action based on the evaluation.
When ISO 9001 is implemented in an organization:
  • Well defined and documented procedures improve the consistency of output
  • Quality is constantly measured
  • Procedures ensure corrective action is taken whenever defects occur
  • Defect rates decrease
  • Defects are caught earlier and are corrected at a lower cost
  • Defining procedures identifies current practices that are obsolete or inefficient
  • Documented procedures are easier for new employees to follow
  • Organizations retain or increase market share, increasing sales or revenue
Top reasons given for registration:
  • Internal operational efficiency
  • Lower production costs because of fewer nonconforming products, less rework, lowered rejection rates, streamlined processes and fewer mistakes.
  • Access to new markets
  • Some markets require ISO 9001 Registration, some markets favor companies with ISO 9000 Registration
  • Customer request
  • Many organizations are asked by a customer to obtain registration as a requirement to continue or to start doing business with them.

Compliance Services/ Social Compliance Audits



Compliance Services:
As companies expand their manufacturing and sourcing capabilities around the world, supply chain workplace conditions are increasingly scrutinized, particularly in developing countries. The conditions under which products are manufactured have become a dimension of quality and an important part of the business value proposition. The lack of a process for managing risks related to supply chain social compliance can have a direct impact on a company’s financial results, especially for those organizations in consumer markets where image and brand names are critical assets.
Ace Management System Consultants evaluates supplier compliance with a variety of social compliance standards, including various corporate codes of conduct, Ace Management System Consultants-developed code of conduct containing standard industry compliance elements, and a range of industry standards established by organizations such as Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), the British Retail Consortium (BRC), the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), and the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX) and Customer’s (Buyer’s) code of conduct (C.O.C) as,
