Partner-delivered scheme · SPEC SHEET
FSSC 22000 is the GFSI-benchmarked food-safety scheme that global retailers and brand owners name in supplier requirements. QSI delivers it as a service through partner certification bodies, with the route stated openly from the first conversation.
Service delivery note: QSI delivers FSSC 22000 certification through partner certification bodies. The certificate is issued under the partner body’s FSSC 22000 license, and the issuing body is named plainly before any quotation. QSI makes no claim of holding its own FSSC license or accreditation.
SPEC 01 · WHAT IT COVERS
FSSC 22000 combines ISO 22000, the sector prerequisite programmes and FSSC additional requirements into one package benchmarked under GFSI.
QSI coordinates the route end to end; the certification decision and the certificate sit with a partner certification body licensed for FSSC 22000.
Operations already running ISO 22000 extend into sector PRPs and scheme requirements instead of starting from zero.
FSSC carries its own scheme rules, including unannounced audit elements in the cycle. The obligations are explained before commitment, not discovered after.
SPEC 03 · THE ROUTE
Five controlled steps for a bounded scheme-audit service, with the service boundary stated clearly.
The certification decision and the certificate sit with the partner certification body.
SPEC 04 · TIMELINE
End-to-end timing depends mostly on your readiness and how fast findings close. QSI gives a dated plan at application review instead of promising a certificate by a date no audit has earned yet.
Scope, sites, shifts and man-days confirmed before anything is quoted.
Documentation and readiness review. Gaps are reported before Stage 2 is planned.
The certification audit, on your floor, against the running system.
Correction and corrective action evidence within agreed timescales.
Independent review of the file, then the certification decision and certificate.
Annual follow-up audits in years 2 and 3, then recertification before expiry.
SPEC 05 · WHAT IT PROVES
SPEC 06 · MAN-DAY TRANSPARENCY
FSSC 22000 is delivered through partner certification bodies. QSI names the issuing body, its accreditation and the scheme version before any quotation.
SPEC 07 · FAQ
Common questions about scope, timing and the audit, answered directly.
No such claim is made here. FSSC 22000 is delivered through partner certification bodies, and the issuing body is named before any engagement begins.
FSSC builds on ISO 22000, adds the sector prerequisite programmes and FSSC additional requirements, and is benchmarked under GFSI, which is what global buyers are checking for.
The certificate is issued by the licensed partner body, so recognition follows that body’s license and accreditation. That is stated openly, which is exactly what a serious buyer verifies.
Where scopes and sites overlap, planning can align FSSC activity with ISO 22000 or HACCP work to reduce disruption. The scheme rules stay controlling.
