This document specifies requirements and provides guidelines for establishing, developing, implementing, evaluating, maintaining and improving an effective diversity management system within an organization. It describes how governance can link diversity to value creation and task solving. This document covers the following aspects of diversity: age, gender, level of disability, ethnicity, life stance, cultural background, class, gender identity and sexual orientation, differences in education, experience, competence, interests and family situation. Inclusion is an element of the diversity management concept. This document is applicable to all types of organizations, bodies, groups and teams regardless of size, organizational structure or sector, private and public, both within and beyond the employer/employee scope. It is applicable to diversity management within a region, country or community and for voluntary work. EXAMPLE: An organization could be a company, community, board, school, academic institutions, voluntary organization, authority or sports section. All requirements specified in this document that refer to a governing body apply to top management in cases where an organization does not have a governing body as a separate function. The standard does not provide: - Guidance on Human Resource Management support activities related to diversity and inclusion as covered in ISO 30415 - Guidance on how to approach social responsibility, corporate social responsibility or other activities that can be categorized as providing help for marginalized groups, see ISO 26000.

This document specifies requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS) to enable an organization that is directly or indirectly involved in the food chain:

a) to plan, implement, operate, maintain and update a FSMS providing products and services that are safe, in accordance with their intended use;

b) to demonstrate compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory food safety requirements;

c) to evaluate and assess mutually agreed customer food safety requirements and to demonstrate conformity with them;

d) to effectively communicate food safety issues to interested parties within the food chain;

e) to ensure that the organization conforms to its stated food safety policy;

f) to demonstrate conformity to relevant interested parties;

g) to seek certification or registration of its FSMS by an external organization, or make a self-assessment or self-declaration of conformity to this document.

All requirements of this document are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations in the food chain, regardless of size and complexity. Organizations that are directly or indirectly involved include, but are not limited to, feed producers, animal food producers, harvesters of wild plants and animals, farmers, producers of ingredients, food manufacturers, retailers, and organizations providing food services, catering services, cleaning and sanitation services, transportation, storage and distribution services, suppliers of equipment, cleaning and disinfectants, packaging materials and other food contact materials.

This document allows any organization, including small and/or less developed organizations (e.g. a small farm, a small packer-distributor, a small retail or food service outlet) to implement externally-developed elements in their FSMS.

Internal and/or external resources can be used to meet the requirements of this document.
