Frequently asked questions
What is the HACCP method?
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a method that identifies, assesses and controls significant food-safety hazards at every stage of the chain.

Yes, it is often required by international retailers and eases access to export markets.
How long does an ISO 22000 certification project take?
Generally 6 to 18 months depending on your organisation’s maturity, from the initial assessment through to the third-party certification audit.
Does IFECARM GROUP issue the certification directly?
