Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions and answers about the FSSC 22000 Version 6 Awareness training.
Is the move from FSSC 22000 Version 5.1 to Version 6 mandatory?
Yes. Under the transition timeline announced by FSSC, all audits have been carried out against Version 6 since April 2024. Businesses must complete the move to Version 6 to keep their certificates valid.
Can you run the training in-house?
Absolutely. We can tailor the training to your site's category (meat, dairy, packaging, feed, beverages and so on), process infrastructure and current certification status, and run it at your company or online.
What is the main difference between FSSC 22000 and ISO 22000?
ISO 22000 is a general food safety standard. FSSC 22000 adds sector-specific prerequisite programs (ISO/TS 22002-x) and the FSSC additional requirements to ISO 22000, which gives it full recognition by GFSI (the Global Food Safety Initiative).
