5. Guidelines for ASEAN Audit and Certification of Food Hygiene and HACCP
How will the Guidelines for ASEAN Audit and Certification of Food Hygiene and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) be used ?
Are these going to replace the guidelines used by Accreditation Bodies?
How does this relate to ISO/IEC 17021:2011
Conformity assessment -- Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems ?
How does this relate to the accreditation schemes operated by for HACCP Systems ? examples:
DSM Malaysia (MS ISO/IEC & ACB-HACCP)
SINGLAS Singapore (Food safety management systems – Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of food safety management on ISO and HACCP)
KAN Indonesia: ISO/IEC 17021:2006 or BSN Guide HACCP System Certification Body;

6. Issues and Approaches for AFCRs- 5

7. HACCP in the EU
HACCP is required by EU since 2006 under Regulation No. 852/2004
HACCP is to be implemented by the food business operators
There is no requirement for certification for HACCP, and certification is treated as private initiative that does not bind regulators.
Regulators assess compliance to HACCP and may require changes to be made but do not formally approve HACCP.

8. Recommendation on HACCP Guidelines
Accreditation bodies In ASEAN and globally have developed guides for accrediting HACCP and other Food Safety Management System (e.g. ISO 2200O) certification bodies
HACCP certification is usually a private sector initiative.
The International Organisation for Standards has published: ISO/TS 22003:2013 Food safety management systems -- Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of food safety management systems that has the same scope as the ASEAN draft guidelines that is used by HACCP certification and accreditation bodies.
ASEAN can utilise ISO/TS 22003:2013 directly and the development ASEAN Guidelines will be duplicative.
