In February 2012 the New Work
Item Proposal for the revision of
ISO/TS 22003 has been approved
and the project started with the
1st WG meeting in Copenhagen in
March 2012.
Reasons for revision
To adopt a full compentency
approach for the personnel
involved in certification
• In the 2007 version the ressource
requirements were mostly based on
qualification, level of education, training
and work/audit experience for personnel
involved in certification. One of the goals
of the revision was to depart from this and
take a full compentence approach
ISO 22003:2013 – changes to the new version

To update and improve some of
the clauses and annexes on multi
sites, food categories or audit
duration requirements
Reasons for revision (2)
To use the latest
version of ISO/IEC
17021: 2011 and
align with Annex A
table 1 on
competence
