The requirement that applies today
The organization decides what to monitor and measure, the methods that give valid results, when to monitor and measure, when to analyse and evaluate the results, and who does it. It keeps appropriate records as evidence and evaluates the performance and effectiveness of the system.
ISO 22000:2018, 9.1.1 Monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation: general; ISO/DIS 22000:2026, 9.1.1.

Why this clause matters
This clause is about the system's own instruments, not the product controls in clause 8. A site can monitor every critical limit and still have no idea whether the system is improving. The clause asks for a deliberate set of performance measures with owners and a rhythm.
Suggested evidence to discuss with your auditor
For 9.1.1, these are the artefacts we suggest discussing with your auditor. The standard publishes no evidence list, so this is our reading, not a requirement.
- A performance measurement plan: what, how, when, who
- Results that are used, not only collected
- An evaluation of the system's performance against its objectives
Where systems usually fall short
- Measures that are easy to collect rather than useful
- Data collected with no owner and no review
How to prepare
List the five numbers a site director would want to see about food safety. If the system cannot produce them, the measurement plan is missing its purpose. Add them and name the owner. Choose the five numbers a site director would ask for at a board meeting. If the system cannot produce them, the measurement plan is collecting data rather than managing performance.
