ISO Certification for Food & Beverage in Iraq

ISO certification for food & beverage in Iraq. IraqCert delivers ISO 22000 and ISO 9001 so producers win Gulf tenders, pass audits, and export with confidence.

Discuss your activity

Food and beverage producers in Iraq need ISO 22000 and ISO 9001 to win tenders, join approved vendor lists, and export to the Gulf. ISO 22000 proves food safety from raw material to distribution; ISO 9001 proves consistent quality. Gulf buyers and retail chains ask for these certificates before they sign. Import authorities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE expect a HACCP-based food safety system on the file. Border inspectors reject shipments that cannot show it. IraqCert delivers both certifications through its partner body AQSR, accredited by the United Accreditation Foundation and verifiable on IAF CertSearch.
