ISO 22000 certification in Durban at a glance
Dube AgriZone sets out to take a crop from propagation through cold chain to export within one precinct: high-value agricultural and horticultural crops, processing and export-ready handling. Each handover in that chain is a hazard point, which is what ISO 22000 manages: communication along the chain, prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, operational controls and verification. A grower-packer, a processor and a freight handler can each certify their own link, and buyers read the certificates as a whole, which is why consistent hazard language and traceability records matter at every handover. Sterling's Johannesburg office builds the system with your production team on site and prepares the audit by an accredited certification body.

ISO 22000 in Durban: questions clients ask
Can each link in a Durban perishables chain certify separately to ISO 22000?
Yes. ISO 22000 is written for any organisation in the food chain, so a grower-packer, a processor and a freight handler can each certify their own scope. Interactive communication between links is a requirement, so the certificates support each other and give buyers a chain of evidence.
Is ISO 22000 realistic for a small Durban processor?
Yes, if the system is sized to the business. A small processor needs a hazard analysis for each product, working prerequisite programmes, traceability and records, plus internal audit and management review. The standard does not demand heavy paperwork. What it demands is that controls are real and can be shown.
