ISO 220002005 Clause 4.2 describes the documentation required in order to comply with the standard. The food safety management system documentation should include a food safety policy and related objectives, documented procedures and records required by the standard and those necessary to ensure the food safety management system is effective.

There are nearly specific references throughout the standard where it prescribes that the food safety management system will need to have documents. The extent of documentation required to achieve ISO 22000 certification will differ from one organization to another depending on the size and complexity of the operation and the competence of personnel.
