By principle, ISO standards must be market-driven
and as there are compelling market needs for
development of PRP-guidelines as support and
supplement to the ISO 22000 standard, SC 17
focuses on progress and speed in the process of
delivering the required documents. This implies,
that the SC 17 Secretariat closely monitor progress
on these documents and encourages the
use of different ISO tracks to the extent possible.
Furthermore SC 17 has decided that PRP guidelines
will first be developed as TS documents, to
ensure fast publication. At the same time, constant
focus remains on processes complying with
ISO directives, ensuring extensive stakeholder
involvement and consensus.
