FSSC 22000 Certification Application Process

**How to Obtain the FSSC 22000 Certificate?**

The FSSC 22000 certificate is a certification obtained to establish a food safety management system and verify its compliance with globally accepted standards. Food safety is critical in production, distribution, and consumption. Therefore, the FSSC 22000 certificate guarantees that all processes ensuring food safety meet a certain level of quality and security. However, obtaining the FSSC 22000 certificate requires following a specific process.

**Steps to Obtain the FSSC 22000 Certificate**

The first step is to align your food safety management system with the ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 standards. This stage starts with your company defining its food safety policies and procedures. Another important step is performing a risk analysis. Risk analysis is essential for identifying potential hazards in the production process and controlling them. During the design of your food safety system, it is also necessary to train all employees. Training will ensure the correct implementation of procedures and improve the effectiveness of the system.

The second stage is to get in touch with certification firms. Reliable certification bodies, such as Kayra Belgelendirme, assess the applicant company's system and suggest necessary improvements. This evaluation is carried out to determine whether your food safety management system complies with the standards. After making the required improvements, the certification body will assign an auditor.

After confirming the system’s readiness, the process continues with the audit. The audit is conducted by an independent auditor and tests the compliance of your food safety management system with international standards. During the audit, companies must meet a certain level of standards. If the audit is successful, the FSSC 22000 certificate is issued to the company. However, if deficiencies or non-compliance are found, the company must take corrective actions and undergo a second audit.

**How Long Does It Take to Obtain the FSSC 22000 Certificate?**

The time required to obtain the FSSC 22000 certificate can vary depending on the company's current situation, the changes that need to be applied, and the speed of the certification body. Typically, this process can take anywhere from a few months to six months. If the necessary infrastructure and systems are already in place in your company, the process can be completed faster. However, if your food safety management system needs to be created from scratch, the process may take longer.
