ISO 22000 certification in Hangzhou at a glance
Operators of the airport's international cargo terminal in Hangzhou say they hold designated supervision sites for imported fruit, edible aquatic animals and chilled aquatic products, and the city's hotels and banquet kitchens feed a steady stream of visitors. Food therefore passes through many hands between port of entry and plate. ISO 22000 is the management system standard that covers every link: producers, storage, transport, repackers and caterers, with HACCP, prerequisite programmes, communication along the chain, internal audit and management review. Sterling serves Hangzhou from its Shanghai office, fits the scope to your place in the chain and prepares you for the accredited certification body's audit.

ISO 22000 in Hangzhou: questions clients ask
Does ISO 22000 cover air-freight handling of food?
Yes, in scope terms. The standard applies to any organisation in the food chain, including storage, transport and handling, so a cold-chain or repacking operator at an airport terminal can certify its own activities. Customs and quarantine conditions are separate legal matters; confirm them with the competent authority. The certificate shows customers that hazards are controlled by a managed system.
Which suits a Hangzhou hotel group better, ISO 22000 or HACCP?
A group with several kitchens and shared suppliers usually benefits from ISO 22000, since it adds internal audit, management review and chain communication to the HACCP method. A single outlet may be content with HACCP certification. Check client tender wording first, as some accept either, and decide the scope by site.
