Rationale for Developing FSSC 22000 Version 7
The main factors that initiated the development of this version were:
- Incorporating the new ISO 22002-x:2025 series on pre-requisite programs
- Aligning the Scheme with the GFSI benchmarking requirements v2024
- Strengthening the requirements to support organisations in their contributions to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Providing a more defined structure for the division of food chain categories
- Editorial changes and amendments as part of continuous improvement
Reminder: Continuation of FSSC 22000 Version 6
FSSC 22000 Version 6 continues to utilise the existing ISO/TS 22002-X series as defined under the Scheme, Part 1, Table 1. The ISO/TS 22002-X series is still available to buy from National Standards Bodies.
