Event rundown
FAQ
-
The Retail Sector of the Consumer Goods Industry appears very focused on BRC & IFS. Why would a manufacturer or supplier prefer FSSC certification?
Many retailers accept any of the GFSI-recognized certification schemes. In that case, manufacturers and suppliers are free to choose what is the best approach and potentially avoid additional costs when suppliers need more than one certification. When there is a free choice, FSSC 22000 is preferred for having the management system approach.
-
Can a Food Production facility implement FSSC 24000?
Yes, a food production facility can implement and become certified for FSSC 24000.
The FSSC 24000 Scheme can be applied in the manufacturing and processing sector (food and non-food), including their related service provision across the consumer goods industry and their associated supply base. Please refer to our website for further details: FSSC 24000 Scheme
-
Is the harmonized structure of the different standards what is called a "higher-level structure"?
The ISO harmonized structure was previously called the high-level structure (HLS). Annex SL defines the harmonized approach for management system standards, available on the ISO website.
-
How would we harmonize the risk assessment if our organization integrated ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and FSSC 22000?
An organization can integrate the risk assessments of its different management system standards. However, the individual requirements of each management system standards relating to risk assessment would still need to be met when developing the integrated risk assessment.
-
We are currently certified to FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001:2015; does this count as an Integrated Management System (IMS)? Or, would we need to secure another certification for our system to be recognized as an IMS?
An integrated management system has one operating management system that covers more than one management system standard. Therefore you would need to integrate your management systems for FSSC with your management system for ISO 9001 to be considered an IMS.
-
Is establishing an integrated management system between Quality, Food Safety, Environment, OHS, and Energy possible?
An organization could implement an integrated management system that covers any of the ISO management system standards; there is no restriction on which management system standards can be integrated.
-
Can we integrate ISO 9001 & FSSC 22000 v5.1?
An organization can integrate FSSC 22000 with ISO 9001 based on the harmonized structure of ISO management system standards. ISO standards are copy-righted and available for purchase from their website: Go to the ISO website

What should we do if our business wants to migrate from ISO 22000 to FSSC 22000?
Please refer to the following page on our website, which details the process to transition: From ISO 22000 to FSSC 22000

What is the difference between FSSC 22000 and ISO 22000?
In addition to ISO 22000:2018, the FSSC 22000 Scheme includes the sector-specific PRPs (Technical specifications for pre-requisite programs) and additional FSSC 22000 requirements in Part 2 of the FSSC 22000 Scheme.
