ISO 22000 certification in Sharjah at a glance
ISO 22000 suits Sharjah food businesses that have outgrown a single HACCP plan. It combines the HACCP principles with prerequisite programmes and a full management system, so hazards, suppliers, traceability and recalls are managed together rather than as separate binders. Hamriyah's Food Park offers production, storage, packaging and distribution space in one place, and food arriving through Sharjah Airport is physically inspected, with some items such as baby food, edible oils and dairy sent for laboratory testing. A producer that can show a certified system finds both conversations easier. Certificates come from accredited certification bodies after stage 1 and stage 2 audits. Sterling prepares Sharjah clients from its Dubai office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included with the engagement.

ISO 22000 in Sharjah: questions clients ask
When should a Hamriyah Food Park business move from HACCP to ISO 22000?
Move when the site handles production, storage, packaging and distribution together, as Food Park tenants can, or when customers ask for a management system rather than a single plan. ISO 22000 keeps HACCP at its core and adds prerequisite programmes, supplier control, traceability and management review, so one system governs the whole operation.
Does ISO 22000 help with airport food inspections in Sharjah?
It helps with preparation rather than clearance. Every consignment arriving at Sharjah Airport is physically inspected, and baby food, edible oils and dairy go for laboratory testing, so importers and their suppliers benefit from documented hazard control and traceability. ISO 22000 does not replace the airport's own document and inspection checks.
