What kind of organization is FSSC 22000 for?

Food Safety Systems Certification (FSSC) 22000 is benchmarked against the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) requirements and is based on the internationally recognized ISO 22000 standard, the industry relevant Pre-Requisite Program (PRP) and FSSC defined additional requirements. It demonstrates compliance with industry and market requirements for safe product handling and can be applied to organizations of any size or complexity. FSSC 22000 is aligned with the ISO Management System approach and the ISO Harmonized Structure.

FSSC 24000 Social Management Systems Certification

SGS is also an approved certification body for FSSC 24000 social management systems certification. 

FSSC 24000 helps manufacturing and processing sector organizations adopt a management system approach that drives continuous improvement to meet and exceed social sustainability and performance requirements.

Benefits of SGS FSSC 22000 Certification

As FSSC 22000 is ISO-based, it also allows the scheme to be integrated with other ISO standards.  We are able to offer integrated audits that will help to reduce the number of audits that you are required to undergo.

We can help you to seamlessly transition from ISO 22000 by implementing the additional requirements set by the FSSC and in the PRP. Transition can take place at any point in your three-year audit cycle.

Because FSSC 22000 is ISO-based it can also easily be incorporated into an integrated audit scheme, saving you time and money and reducing disruption to your business.
