Why doesn't ISO implement the FSSC22000 scheme?

Hi dear colleagues

I'm implementing FSSC22000 in small cheese processing plant/distribution centre. I was just wondering why ISO doesn't implement the FSSC22000 scheme and make it an GFSI certified scheme. Isn't it just much easier to make ISO22000 + 220002-x + the FSSC rules in one big new ISO 22000 wich is GFSI certified?

FSSC22000 is already a recognized GFSI scheme

FSSC22000 is indeed. ISO 22000 isn't. Was just wondering why ISO didn't make a GFSI recognised scheme.

I always wondered that myself. My guess is ISO intends to be as generic as possible in order to be applicable to all plants regardless of its capacity. In that sense more requirements will make it more specific so less companies will join the ISO program (meaning less income).

Hi Caglar,

Yes, and expanding slightly -

But ISO 22000 alone doesn’t meet the GFSI benchmarking requirements, for 2 major reasons:

1. The choice of the applicable PRPs is open for the certified company,
2. There is no scheme owner behind ISO 22000 certification, to control that certification bodies operate according to GFSI compliant procedure.
