The latest version of FSSC 22000 was released in November 2020. Subversion 5.1 is a revision of FSSC 22000 v5. The main reasons for change are:
Audits against the former version FSSC 22000 v5 were only allowed until 1 April 2021. Upgrade audits against FSSC 22000 v5.1 scheme requirements shall be conducted between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022.
In cases where the transition from FSSC 22000 v4.1 to FSSC 22000 v5 has not been completed, the FSSC 22000 certificate v4.1 shall be suspended. To lift the suspension and restore certification, an audit shall be conducted to version 5.1. After 29 June 2021, FSSC will set the status of all remaining version 4.1 certificates in its Portal to “withdrawn”.
We recommend to start preparing for the transition as early as possible and plan properly to incorporate needed changes into your management system. Recommended steps for the transition are:
Our auditors are prepared and have a full overview of the changes and what is required to transition from FSSC 22000 v5 to v5.1. We can support you in all phases of the transition and have a food safety culture toolbox available, so that you can start preparing, assess your level of readiness and efficiently complete that transition.
