FSSC 22000 V6 and ISO 22003-1:2022 transition
Date: 2024.Feb.12
ISO/TS 22003:2013, the requirements for food safety management system certification, has been updated to ISO 22003-1:2022, and the new FSSC 22000 Version 6 was released by the FSSC Foundation, which administers the FSSC 22000 certification on March 31, 2023. The main reasons for revision are:
– Integrating the requirements of ISO 22003-1:2022,
– Strengthening the requirements to support organizations in their contributions to meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and
– Incorporating feedback as a result of the Version 6 development survey.
FSSC 22000 (Version 6) takes effect on April 1, 2024, and existing Version 5.1 certified organizations can upgrade the specification through surveillance/recertification audit between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025. Upon completion of the upgrade, a new certificate will be issued.
Major changes in FSSC 22000 (Version 6) include:
– Realignment of the Food Chain Categories in accordance with ISO 22003-1:2022.
– The scope has been expanded to include Trading and Brokering (FII) and reduced by removing Farming and FSSC 22000-Quality from the scheme.
– Integration of the requirements on food safety and quality culture.
– New requirements on quality control, food loss and waste, and equipment management.
– Strengthened existing additional requirements in Part 2 of the scheme, including but not limited to allergen management and environmental monitoring.
– Changes to and clarification on requirements for the Certification Process.
– Addition of a QR Code on FSSC 22000 certificates for improved traceability.
For ISO 22000 certification, realignment of the Food Chain Categories in accordance with ISO 22003-1:2022 also applies.
