Food Safety Rules in SA
How ISO 22000 Fits With South Australian Food Law
Every food business in Adelaide must comply with the Food Act 2001 (SA) and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code — a shared responsibility between SA Health and local councils. Primary producers and processors of meat, eggs and certain products are additionally regulated by Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) under the Primary Produce (Food Safety Schemes) Act 2004. These are your legal obligations, whether or not you hold any certification.
ISO 22000:2018 is a voluntary international standard that sits alongside those requirements — it does not replace them — adding a systematic, auditable and globally recognised way to demonstrate food safety management, the assurance major retailers, tenders and export buyers increasingly expect. UCS audits and certifies your management system against ISO 22000:2018; meeting your South Australian legal obligations remains your responsibility.

FAQ
ISO 22000 Certification Adelaide — Common Questions
What is ISO 22000:2018 certification in Adelaide?
ISO 22000:2018 is the international standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). It combines HACCP principles with prerequisite programmes to help Adelaide food businesses manage food safety hazards systematically. UCS is an accredited certification body that audits and issues internationally recognised ISO 22000:2018 certificates to South Australian food businesses.
Is ISO 22000 required by law in South Australia?
No. Adelaide food businesses must comply with the Food Act 2001 (SA) and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, enforced by SA Health and local councils, with primary producers also regulated by PIRSA. ISO 22000:2018 is a voluntary international standard that does not replace these obligations, but it demonstrates the food safety management buyers and retailers often expect.
Does a PIRSA food safety scheme replace ISO 22000?
No. PIRSA food-safety-scheme accreditation is a legal requirement for certain South Australian primary producers, while ISO 22000:2018 is a voluntary international management-system certification. Many businesses hold both — the scheme for legal compliance and ISO 22000:2018 to meet buyer and export expectations.
How much does ISO 22000 certification cost in Adelaide?
ISO 22000:2018 certification costs in Adelaide vary based on your organisation's size, number of sites, product scope and FSMS complexity. UCS provides a transparent, competitive quote within 3–4 hours.
Does ISO 22000 replace HACCP in Adelaide?
ISO 22000:2018 incorporates HACCP principles as a core component. Certification to ISO 22000:2018 covers HACCP requirements while adding a broader, auditable food safety management system.
