What Is It?
Developed through extensive and open consultation with many global stakeholders, the FSSC 22000 scheme uses international and independent standards such as ISO 22000, ISO 9001, ISO/TS 22003, and technical specifications for sector-specific Pre-Requisite Programs (PRPs), such as ISO/TS 22002-1. Alongside these standards, the Scheme contains FSSC Additional Requirements.
For organisations wishing to integrate their food quality management system into the scope of their certification, FSSC 22000-Quality certification is available which consists of a combined FSSC 22000 and a full ISO 9001 audit.
