Scheme Documents
The Scheme Documents contain the requirements for organizations to gain FSSC 22000 certification. Even before applying for certification, businesses can use these free documents to assess, develop, implement, and improve their Food Safety Management System. Developed through extensive and open consultation with global stakeholders, the FSSC 22000 Scheme uses international standards such as ISO 22000 and ISO 22002-x for sector-specific Pre-Requisite Programs (PRPs).
Auditing
FSSC licensed and accredited Certification Bodies use the Scheme documents to assess and audit the applicant organization’s continuous compliance with the requirements of the FSSC 22000 Scheme. This way of working assures the performance of the food safety management system within Certified Organizations.
