The comunication interactive is another essential requirement of ISO 22000, in order to respond promptly to the requests of commercial interlocutors, institutions, consumers. The Food Safety Management System (FSMS), from this point of view, therefore also represents the matrix on which to base the procedures of crisis management.
ISO 9001: 2015, Quality Management System, the standard at the basis of each quality system, in turn stands out - in its latest version, compared to the previous ones, for the attention dedicated to the management of risks in critical situations and to relations with stakeholder.
