      • 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.
