About the FSSC 22000 Standard

Being an ISO 17021-accredited scheme, it enables efficient integration with a facility’s other approved ISO standards. The scheme is based on ISO 22000 and has worldwide credibility. Therefore, it provides:

  • A common ISO language. As a result, it provides improved communication across the supply chain
  • A systematic management protocol for prerequisites
  • Confidence to tell other stakeholders that an organization can identify and control food safety hazards
  • Flexibility for customer requirements to be taken into account
  • Flexibility to integrate with an organization’s other ISO-related certifications

Initial Certification and Requirements 

Initial Certification for FSSC 22000 is a two-step process.

Stage 1
Firstly, a facility must complete an on-site assessment of its Food Safety Management System (FSMS) program and processes.

Stage 2
Firstly, your facility must conduct a facility audit that focuses on implementing these programs to ensure you meet the requirements of the FSSC 22000 Standard.

Secondly, a three-year cycle occurs after certification, where annual surveillance audits must be conducted to maintain certification.
