IGC provides certification services such as ISO 22000 food safety management system provisional auditor, auditor, lead auditor, internal auditor, and senior auditor based on cooperation with GPC (Global Personnel Certification), an accredited personnel certification body based on ISO/IEC 17024.

• 

  ISO 22000 Overview

  ISO 22000 integrates the principles and application stages of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
  
  This standard requires the identification and evaluation of all expected hazards in the food chain, including hazards that may be associated with the type of process and facility used. Therefore, ISO 22000 helps to distinguish between identified hazards that need and don’t need to be managed and provides methods for documentation.
