How to Obtain a HACCP Certificate and Who Issues It?
Obtain written confirmation of which HACCP-based programme your customer requires and which facility and activities the document must cover.
Continue with the relevant decision step
Direct answer
Obtain written confirmation of which HACCP-based programme your customer requires and which facility and activities the document must cover. Codex provides the method; it is not a single worldwide certificate issuer. A private assessment also does not replace food-business registration or approval.
Decision and evidence
Implement prerequisites and a product-specific plan, then verify the selected body's programme and accepted authority. Keep the assessment decision distinct from preparation support.
Technical basis
A HACCP system follows the Codex logic of preliminary steps and seven principles: hazard analysis, CCPs, critical limits, monitoring, corrective action, verification and records.

Does a HACCP certificate replace official operating permissions?
Food-business registration, approval and other legal duties require separate consideration. Implementing HACCP or holding a private assessment document does not automatically complete those procedures. Verify the service basis, scope and customer acceptance. Distinguish plan development, assessment and official processes in the quotation.
Does the supplier retain every HACCP responsibility for a purchased intermediate product?
Your acceptance, storage and subsequent processing matter alongside supplier controls. Explain which hazards were controlled and under what conditions. Establish specifications and change notifications. Supplier certification does not remove assessment of temperature or contamination risks introduced at your own premises.
