FSSC 22000

Food safety management system according to FSSC 22000

In 2012 GFSI (The Global Food Safety Initiative) Association approved FSSC 22000 scheme (Press release GFSI - 23rd February 2010 - Paris, France) as equivalent alternative to existing IFS or BRC schemes. GFSI is worldwide association of multiple stores, producers and service providers in food industry associating significant companies such as METRO GROUP, CARREFOUR, ROYAL AHOLD, DANONE, COCA-COLA, KRAFT FOODS etc.

FSSC 22000 scheme is based on international standard ISO 22000, which ensures high international acceptance and extension movements of certification on worldwide basis.

Compared to IFS or BRC schemes FSSC 22000 has following advantages:

• Lower fees to scheme owner, which are transferred in the certification price
• Validity of the certificate is 3 years
• Easy implementation for ISO certificates holders (common requirements)
• There are no K.O. requirements
• Compatibility with other ISO standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001) and therefore possibility to conduct audits together
• Higher international acceptance – international network of national accreditation bodies is used for certification bodies accreditation

FSSC 22000 certificates are also accepted by multiple stores and large producers in Slovakia. QSCert belongs to the first certification bodies in the world, which obtained licence for certification of the scheme. We would like to offer you our services for favourable prices.
