ISO 22000 certification in Melbourne at a glance
Melbourne food businesses pass through a registration gate first and a customer gate second. City of Melbourne classifies premises from class 1 to class 4 by the highest-risk activity, and Safe Food Victoria separately registers meat, seafood and dairy businesses. The customer gate is voluntary but just as real, and ISO 22000 is one of the keys. The standard blends interactive communication along the food chain, system management, prerequisite programmes and HACCP principles inside a management system with leadership, planning and improvement. It suits manufacturers, packers and catering operators that want one structure rather than a stack of separate plans. Sterling serves Melbourne from its Sydney office, builds the system with your teams, and prepares an accredited certification body's audit.

ISO 22000 in Melbourne: questions clients ask
How does ISO 22000 fit with City of Melbourne's premises classes?
The class system decides what a premises must have to be registered, while ISO 22000 is a voluntary management system that a certification body can certify. A hospital caterer, for example, sits in the highest-risk class and may also be asked for ISO 22000 by its client.
Who among Melbourne producers adds ISO 22000?
Packers, dairy and meat processors and ingredient makers whose customers want one recognised structure for hazards, prerequisites and communication through the supply chain. Smaller kitchens often stay with HACCP unless a buyer or tender asks for more. Larger groups sometimes move on to a benchmarked scheme later if a retailer asks.
