Full title and description

ISO/TS 22002-6:2016 — Prerequisite programmes on food safety — Part 6: Feed and animal food production. This Technical Specification provides requirements and guidance for establishing, implementing and maintaining prerequisite programmes (PRPs) to support feed safety in the manufacture and supply of feed and animal food, and in materials intended for use in their production.

Abstract

ISO/TS 22002-6:2016 specifies PRP requirements intended to ensure feed safety and to prevent, control and detect potential contamination (including cross‑contamination) that could occur under the responsibility of the organization. It is applicable to organisations of any size or complexity involved in manufacturing and/or supplying feed and animal food; exclusions of individual requirements must be justified by hazard assessment and verified as effective.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn (superseded by an ISO standard published in 2025).
• Publication date: April 2016 (ISO/TS first edition).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO). (Also available as a PD/identical national publication via some national bodies such as BSI.)
• ICS / categories: 67.040 (Food products in general) — (related ICS groupings for later revisions include animal feeding stuffs/processes in food industry).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (Technical Specification, 2016).
• Number of pages: ISO bibliographic entry lists 13 pages for the ISO/TS publication; some national/adoption publications (e.g., BSI PD) show different pagination (for example, BSI lists 24 pages).

Scope

ISO/TS 22002-6:2016 applies to organisations involved in the manufacture and/or supply of feed and animal food and to materials intended for use in their production. The document sets out PRP requirements to control feed safety hazards that could affect animal and/or human health. It is intended to be used in conjunction with relevant food‑safety management system standards where applicable; not all requirements necessarily apply to every organisation or process and justified exclusions are permitted where verified.

Key topics and requirements

• Establishment, documentation and maintenance of prerequisite programmes (PRPs) tailored to feed/animal food operations.
• Prevention and control of contamination and cross‑contamination risks (including biological, chemical and physical hazards relevant to feed).
• Building, equipment and process design considerations to support hygiene, cleaning and maintenance.
• Cleaning and sanitation procedures, pest control, waste management and control of non‑conforming products.
• Personnel hygiene, training and access control measures specific to feed operations.
• Supplier and incoming materials control, storage and segregation, and traceability basics for feed inputs.
• Verification, monitoring and record keeping to demonstrate PRP effectiveness and justification of any exclusions.

Typical use and users

Intended users include feed manufacturers, compounders, premix manufacturers, processors of animal food, ingredient suppliers, storage and handling operators, and organisations implementing or auditing feed‑safety related PRPs. Certification bodies, auditors and regulatory/compliance teams use the document as a benchmark or reference for feed safety prerequisite requirements.

Related standards

Related and successor documents include the ISO 22002 family and ISO 22000 (food safety management systems). ISO/TS 22002-6:2016 has been withdrawn and replaced by ISO 22002-6:2025 (the 2025 series reorganised the PRP parts and introduced ISO 22002-100 as a common part). Other related parts of the series (revised in 2025) address food manufacturing, catering, packaging, transport/storage, retail/wholesale and the new common requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TS 22002-6:2016 is a Technical Specification that provided sector‑specific prerequisite programme requirements for feed and animal food production to support feed safety. It was published by ISO in April 2016.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the establishment, implementation and maintenance of PRPs for feed and animal food production including contamination prevention, cleaning and sanitation, building/equipment considerations, personnel hygiene, pest control, supplier control, storage and verification of PRP effectiveness.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Feed and animal food manufacturers and their suppliers, auditors and certification bodies, regulatory and compliance teams, and any organisation seeking to implement recognised PRPs for feed safety.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO/TS 22002-6:2016 has been withdrawn; it has been superseded by the revised ISO 22002-6 (published as an international standard in 2025). Organisations are advised to refer to ISO 22002-6:2025 and the updated ISO 22002 series (including ISO 22002-100) for current PRP requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the ISO 22002 family of documents on prerequisite programmes for food safety (sector parts). The 2025 revision restructured the series and published multiple parts as ISO international standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: PRPs, prerequisite programmes, feed safety, animal food production, contamination control, cross‑contamination, cleaning and sanitation, supplier control, traceability, ISO 22002.
