FSSC 22000 Version 6 Internal Auditor Training Course
FSSC 22000 is the GFSI-recognised certification scheme that most international customers now ask food businesses to hold. It builds on ISO 22000, adds the sector-specific prerequisite programmes of the ISO/TS 22002 series, and layers on additional requirements covering food defence, food fraud and more.
This two-day course covers the ISO 22000 requirements and then works through the Food Safety Management System requirements of the FSSC 22000 Version 6 scheme in full. It deals with documenting, developing, implementing or upgrading an FSMS to meet both the scheme and the operational objectives of the business, and then with audit systems, the audit process and audit instruments, documentation, conducting the audit, writing the report and taking corrective action.
Scheme and Standard
How FSSC 22000 Differs from ISO 22000
ISO 22000
An international standard for Food Safety Management Systems, setting out what the system has to do.
FSSC 22000
A GFSI-recognised certification scheme that combines the ISO 22000 requirements with additional sector-specific prerequisite programmes and further food safety requirements.
Why the difference matters: GFSI recognition is usually the reason a customer asks for FSSC rather than ISO 22000 alone. Auditing the scheme means auditing the additional requirements too, not only the standard underneath it.

What You Need Coming In
