DPS has published the SSH standard ISO 22003-2:2022 "Food safety - Part 2: Requirements for bodies providing assessment and certification of products, processes and services, including food safety system auditing"

The ISO 22003-2:2022 standard specifies the applicable rules for auditing a food safety system (FSS) and certifying products, processes and services that comply with the requirements of the certification scheme, which is based on international food safety standards (p.sh. codex alimentarius) and also includes elements of the management system.

This standard does not apply to certificates that are awarded by performing product testing (p.sh. product testing performed by an organization that implements the ISO/IEC 17025 standard) or product inspection (p.sh. product inspection performed by an organization that implements the ISO/IEC 17020 standard).
