Cert360 provides comprehensive FSSC 22000 certification services in Australia, supporting food manufacturers, processors, and packaging organisations in establishing technically sound, audit-ready food safety management systems. We help organisations demonstrate effective food safety controls, prerequisite program management, and HACCP-based risk management across regulated and commercial food production environments.
Our FSSC 22000 approach focuses on strengthening both food safety system controls and management system requirements. By aligning food safety procedures with FSSC 22000 scheme requirements and operational realities, we support organisations in achieving certification while improving food safety performance, supply chain confidence, and regulatory compliance outcomes.
FSSC 22000 is an internationally recognised food safety management system certification scheme developed by the Foundation FSSC. It is built on ISO 22000, sector-specific prerequisite program standards, and additional FSSC scheme requirements. FSSC 22000 is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative and is accepted by major food retailers, manufacturers, and regulatory bodies worldwide.
The scheme addresses food safety management system requirements including hazard analysis, HACCP-based controls, prerequisite programs, operational prerequisite programs, management system controls, and continual improvement. FSSC 22000 applies to food manufacturers, processors, packaging material manufacturers, animal feed producers, and food service operations across the food supply chain.
FSSC 22000 certification provides assurance that food safety management systems are effectively designed, implemented, and maintained across food production operations. A structured food safety management system improves hazard control consistency, reduces product recall risks, and strengthens confidence in food safety outcomes across the supply chain.
Certification also supports regulatory compliance, retailer and customer requirements, and access to global markets. Organisations certified to FSSC 22000 gain recognition for food safety system competence, enabling them to participate in major retail supply chains, export programs, and international food industry markets.
We conduct a detailed assessment of your organisation's food safety management system, prerequisite programs, HACCP controls, and management system requirements against FSSC 22000 scheme requirements. This identifies compliance gaps, food safety risks, and priority implementation actions.
Our consultants develop customised prerequisite programs covering pest control, cleaning and sanitation, allergen management, supplier qualification, personnel hygiene, and maintenance controls aligned with your food production scope and sector-specific requirements.
We support the development of complete, documented HACCP plans including hazard analysis, critical control point determination, critical limit establishment, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, and verification activities aligned with FSSC 22000 requirements.
We support the implementation of food safety management system controls, operational prerequisite programs, monitoring systems, and management review processes across daily food production operations.
Internal audits and management reviews verify food safety system performance, control effectiveness, and readiness for FSSC 22000 certification assessment.
We provide full support during FSSC 22000 certification assessments including evidence preparation, staff guidance, corrective action management, and assessment follow-up.
We review your food production activities, processing methods, product categories, and regulatory obligations to define an accurate FSSC 22000 certification scope.
Existing food safety systems, prerequisite programs, and HACCP controls are evaluated to identify gaps and develop a structured implementation plan aligned with FSSC 22000 scheme requirements.
Prerequisite programs, HACCP plans, operational controls, and management system documentation are developed and implemented across food production operations.
Food safety personnel receive targeted training on FSSC 22000 requirements and food safety system controls. Internal audits confirm system readiness before certification assessment.
The external certification assessment is conducted, findings are resolved, and FSSC 22000 certification is granted upon successful verification of food safety system compliance.
We provide ongoing support to maintain FSSC 22000 certification including surveillance audit preparation, system updates, and recertification assistance.
FSSC 22000 is a GFSI-recognised scheme, providing internationally accepted food safety credentials across global supply chains and export markets.
Certification confirms that hazard controls, prerequisite programs, and HACCP plans are effectively implemented and maintained across food production operations.
FSSC 22000 certification demonstrates food safety system competence to retailers, customers, and supply chain partners across domestic and international markets.
Structured food safety controls and monitoring systems reduce the likelihood of contamination, product failures, and costly recall events.
FSSC 22000 supports compliance with Australian food safety regulations and international food safety requirements across export and import markets.
Ongoing monitoring, internal audits, and management reviews strengthen food safety system performance and operational food safety outcomes over time.
Cert360 is trusted by food manufacturers and processors across Australia for delivering structured FSSC 22000 certification services. Organisations rely on our expertise to strengthen food safety system competence, reduce certification assessment risks, and maintain FSSC 22000 certification with confidence.
As a trusted FSSC 22000 service provider, Cert360 supports food organisations seeking robust, sustainable, and audit-ready food safety management systems aligned with GFSI expectations and international food industry requirements.
An internationally recognised food safety management system certification scheme built on ISO 22000, sector-specific prerequisite program standards, and additional FSSC scheme requirements.
Food manufacturers, processors, packaging material manufacturers, animal feed producers, and food service organisations seeking GFSI-recognised food safety certification.
ISO 22000 is the foundation management system standard. FSSC 22000 builds on ISO 22000 by adding sector-specific prerequisite program requirements and additional FSSC scheme requirements to achieve GFSI recognition.
Timeline varies depending on organisation size, existing food safety system maturity, and scope complexity. Implementation typically ranges from three to twelve months.
Costs vary based on organisation size, scope, and certification body selected. Cert360 provides transparent project scoping and cost guidance following an initial consultation.
HACCP is a core component of FSSC 22000. A documented and implemented HACCP plan is required as part of the FSSC 22000 food safety management system.
