Understand the ISO 22002:2025 family, ISO 22002-100 and sector PRP requirements. Plan a PRP gap review and connect implementation with ISO 22000 today.

ISO 22002 is a family of prerequisite programme standards rather than a generic standalone three-year management-system certification. ISO 22002-100:2025 contains common PRP requirements for the food, feed and packaging supply chain, while sector-specific parts add requirements for particular activities. The correct commercial route may be ISO 22000 certification, a scheme such as FSSC 22000 where applicable, or a defined PRP assessment.
This pack gives the website updater the approved page positioning, upload-ready copy, metadata, internal links, structured data and publishing checks. The page must preserve the distinction between certifiable management-system standards, supporting guidance and product-level evaluation.
Important: no page structure can guarantee a Google ranking. This pack is designed to improve relevance, factual accuracy, trust signals and conversion quality while avoiding unsupported promises.
Use the ISO 22002:2025 family to establish practical prerequisite programmes for food, feed and packaging operations. The page explains how ISO 22002-100 works with sector-specific parts and how PRP implementation supports ISO 22000 and recognised food safety schemes.
Critical: Only certificates issued by IAF-accredited bodies are genuinely valid for GeM, CPPP, and international procurement. India has thousands of fraudulent ISO bodies selling unaccredited certificates that are regularly rejected by compliance teams. London Cert is IAF-accredited.
Prerequisite programmes, or PRPs, are the basic environmental and operational conditions needed to help control food safety hazards. They provide the foundation on which hazard analysis and the wider food safety management system operate.
The 2025 revision restructured the ISO 22002 series. ISO 22002-100 brings common requirements together, and sector-specific parts are used alongside it for activities such as food manufacturing or packaging.
The page should not present ISO 22002 as another generic organisational certificate with a fixed three-year validity. The ISO 22002 parts establish PRP requirements that support a broader food safety system and may be used within a recognised certification scheme.
For organisational food safety management-system certification, review ISO 22000 certification.
Part 100 contains common PRP requirements for the food, feed and packaging supply chain. It is designed to be used with the relevant sector-specific part rather than duplicating common requirements in every document.
Part 1 addresses food manufacturing. It specifies sector requirements in conjunction with ISO 22002-100.
Other parts address activities such as catering, farming, food packaging, transport and storage, feed and retail or wholesale. The applicable part depends on the organisation's actual position in the food chain.
1. Identify the food-chain category and the applicable ISO 22002 parts.
2. Define sites, products, processes, utilities, outsourced activities and scheme requirements.
3. Review facilities and documented controls against common and sector-specific PRPs.
4. Observe practices and interview responsible staff across relevant shifts.
5. Record gaps according to food-safety risk and implementation priority.
6. Implement actions and collect objective evidence.
7. Verify closure and integrate controls into the ISO 22000 FSMS or applicable scheme.
Using both allows the organisation to connect facility and operational controls with hazard analysis, communication, emergency preparedness, traceability, verification, internal audit and management review.
A PRP review depends on site size, number of processes, product categories, shifts, facility condition, laboratory or utility requirements and the chosen certification scheme. Remediation involving building or equipment changes can take longer than documentation updates.
The quotation should state whether it covers a gap assessment, implementation support, verification, ISO 22000 certification or coordination with another scheme. Avoid one generic certificate price.
London Cert can first identify the intended outcome and applicable route: PRP readiness, ISO 22000 certification, or another food safety scheme. This prevents the organisation from buying a certificate that does not match the customer's or scheme's requirement.
It is a restructured family of prerequisite programme standards for food, feed and packaging supply-chain activities.
It contains common PRP requirements used with the relevant sector-specific part of the ISO 22002 family.
It should not be marketed as a generic standalone management-system certificate. It is commonly used to support ISO 22000 and recognised scheme requirements.
Review areas include site and equipment design, utilities, cleaning, pests, contamination, personnel hygiene, suppliers, storage, transport and supporting records.
Yes. The enquiry should be scoped to distinguish PRP assessment or implementation support from the ISO 22000 certification audit.
Share your products, food-chain category, sites, current certification and customer requirements. London Cert can determine the applicable ISO 22002 parts and whether the project should lead into ISO 22000 or another recognised scheme.

Why we don't publish exact prices: ISO 22002:2025 Prerequisite Programme Requirements certification cost depends on your specific company size, number of locations, number of employees, industry, and documentation complexity. A fixed published price would either overcharge small businesses or undercharge complex ones. Contact us for a personalised, binding quote within 24 hours — specific to your business.
More employees = more audit time. Audit duration is directly tied to your employee count and the scope of operations being certified.
Each additional location may require separate or extended audit time. Multi-site certifications are priced accordingly — contact us to discuss.
Simple service businesses have fewer process documents than complex manufacturing operations. Documentation scope directly affects cost.
If you already have some quality management processes documented, less preparation work is needed — which can reduce the overall cost.
Remote audits are available for all businesses and are typically more cost-effective. On-site audits are available for clients who need or prefer physical presence.
Most certification companies require you to hire a separate consultant to prepare documentation — and then pay the certification company for the audit on top. London Cert does both. This integrated approach saves time and significantly reduces total cost.
