Food safety management systems
Whatever their size, or product, all food producers have a responsibility to manage the safety of their products and the well-being of their consumers. That’s why ISO 22000 exists.
The consequences of unsafe food can be serious. ISO’s food safety management standards help organizations identify and control food safety hazards, at the same time as working together with other ISO management standards, such as ISO 9001. Applicable to all types of producer, ISO 22000 provides a layer of reassurance within the global food supply chain, helping products cross borders and bringing people food that they can trust.
Why ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 sets out the requirements for a food safety management system and can be certified to it. It maps out what an organization needs to do to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe. It can be used by any organization regardless of its size or position in the food chain.

1. ISTO Test of Understanding on ISO 22000:2018/Amd 1:2024
This test is developed for ISO management system standards ("MSS") professionals such as middle and senior management personnel, responsible persons (as defined under clause 5.3), internal auditors, third party certification body auditors and advisors/consultants who are instrumental in the effectiveness of the MSS implementation.
It is a multiple choice test designed with three outcomes:
Certifying the candidate on their understanding of the respective standard
Measuring the level of understanding in the eight (8) A·C·C·U·R·A·T·E Analysis domains
Ranking a candidate's performance in a personalised analytics report

More than just understanding
An ISTO Test focuses not only on understanding the requirements of a standard but is also designed to ensure that those who pass the test have demonstrated a knowledge of the underlying management system principles, definitions, applicability, distinguishing requirements from unspecified requirements and the standard’s practical implementation.

Employers of ISO 22000 auditors/consultants/tutors would find the ISTO TOU qualification a good benchmark in their selection process, as the ISTO TOU adds value to employees' overall performance excellence and consistency. A course tutor with an ISTO TOU credential is able to offer learners a more accurate and complete presentation of the standard.

2. Structure of the Test of Understanding
The ISTO TOU consists of multiple choice questions with four (4) possible options of which only one (1) represents the 'best' option. The ISTO TOU is a closed-book online test, however candidates are allowed to refer to an unmarked copy of the respective ISO standard which is the only permitted reference material during the test. In an online test, the standard copy will be provided in a separate window, in addition to the test window.
Difference between Level 1 Test and Level 2 Test
The Level 1 test assesses a candidate's understanding of the basic principles and requirements of an ISO management system standard (MSS). The Level 2 is a comprehensive test that covers principles, requirements, and the implementation in various scenarios and business sectors.
