Who it’s for

Food and beverage manufacturers, packaging suppliers and food-chain businesses.

Edition notes. FSSC 22000 (Foundation FSSC) builds on ISO 22000 with prerequisite-programme technical specifications and additional requirements; its current version has extra requirements this app does not list. Check the scheme documents.

What you still need

The official standard from ISO (iso.org or your national standards body), and — if you want a certificate — an accredited certification body to audit you. Total ISO helps you build, run and evidence the system; it doesn’t grant certification.

What Total ISO gives you for ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000

Each requirement area below maps to a screen in the app. Your “Requirements” page shows what’s in place and what’s still to do. Coverage for ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000: full requirements map with purpose-built records.

Working to more than one standard?

Most requirements overlap, so you enter things once. One risk register, one set of documents, one audit programme, one corrective-action process — shared by every standard you choose. Your plan includes one standard; each extra is a simple monthly add-on (see pricing) — $40/month for ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 when it isn’t your included one. Try them all free during the trial.

Mapping follows ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 (2018) as publicly described. Clause numbers appear only where we are confident of them. Standards are revised periodically; check which edition your certification body audits against. ISO is a registered mark of the International Organization for Standardization.
