What is ISO 22000 FSSC? Many standards have been developed within food safety, including company-specific standards, legal regulations and standards developed by retailers. Their proliferation have made their application difficult.
At the same time, food safety principles have spread across the world. The safety of food stuffs has become a major issue for all players within the food chain. For this reason, a single standard with worldwide reach including the food safety principles has become necessary.
Solution
The ISO 22000 FSSC (Food Safety Standard Certification)is the first international standard for implementation of a certified food safety management system. It covers Interactive Communication, System Management and Hazard Control.
Our Approach
Key Certification Process Steps:
- Definition of certification scope;
- Pre-audit (optional); gap analysis and diagnosis of your current position against the standard;
- Initial audit to verify the implementation of the basic structure of the Management System (applying legislation and regulations);
- Certification audit (certificate issued);
- Surveillance audits to follow the continual improvement;
- Re-certification after 3 years through full audit or continual assessment.
After each step, a straightforward and complete report is quickly delivered allowing your company to continually improve its food safety management performance.
