Certifying outside food manufacturing
Five sectors are audited against their own sector documents, so each has its own course. Each one is complete on its own: ISO 22000:2018, the ISO 22002-100:2025 prerequisite programmes, the sector PRP standard and the FSSC additional requirements are all inside the single course, for R5 500. There is nothing to buy first.

The food manufacturing implementation course works the same way.

What is FSSC 22000 Version 7?
FSSC 22000 is a GFSI-recognised food safety management system certification scheme. It combines the management system requirements of ISO 22000:2018, a sector prerequisite programme standard from the ISO 22002 series, and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements. Version 7 was published in May 2026. In plain English, it is not a checklist: it is a structured system that controls hazards, strengthens food safety culture, manages suppliers, verifies PRPs and prepares a site for its certification audit.
| Food chain category | Documents the audit is conducted against |
|---|---|
| C · Food manufacturing | ISO 22000:2018, ISO 22002-100:2025, ISO 22002-1:2025 and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements |
| E · Catering and food service | ISO 22000:2018, ISO 22002-100:2025, ISO 22002-2:2025 and the additional requirements |
| I · Packaging manufacturing | ISO 22000:2018, ISO 22002-100:2025, ISO 22002-4:2025 and the additional requirements |
| G · Transport and storage | ISO 22000:2018, ISO 22002-100:2025, ISO 22002-5:2025 and the additional requirements |
| D · Feed and animal food | ISO 22000:2018, ISO 22002-100:2025, ISO 22002-6:2025 and the additional requirements |
| FI · Retail and wholesale | ISO 22000:2018, ISO 22002-100:2025, ISO 22002-7:2025 and the additional requirements |
| FII · Brokering and trading | ISO 22000:2018 and the additional requirements only, with no prerequisite programme standard |
For food manufacturing you need both ISO 22002-100:2025 and ISO 22002-1:2025: the sector part specifies its requirements in conjunction with the common baseline, so one without the other is incomplete.

FSSC 22000 V7 training frequently asked questions
What is FSSC 22000 Version 7?
FSSC 22000 Version 7 is the latest version of the FSSC 22000 certification scheme, published in May 2026. It combines ISO 22000:2018, a sector prerequisite programme standard from the ISO 22002 series, and the FSSC additional requirements into a GFSI-recognised food safety management system certification framework.
Which FSSC 22000 V7 course should I choose?
Take Implementation of FSSC 22000 Version 7 for Food Manufacturing if you are implementing the scheme on a food manufacturing site. Choose Introduction to FSSC 22000 V7 if you are new to FSSC and need a broad overview, and Transition to FSSC 22000 Version 7 if you already know Version 6. Catering, packaging, transport, feed and retail sites take the FSSC 22000 V7 course for their own sector, each one complete on its own with no prerequisite course to buy first.
Does the Introduction course cover ISO 22000?
Yes. The Introduction course covers ISO 22000:2018, ISO 22002-100:2025 prerequisite programmes and the FSSC 22000 Version 7 additional requirements.
Does the Transition course apply to all food chain categories?
Yes. Transition to FSSC 22000 Version 7 is written for all food chain categories and focuses on the changes from Version 6 to Version 7, including scheme structure and additional requirement changes.
When is the deadline to move from FSSC 22000 Version 6 to Version 7?
The Version 7.0 scheme text does not publish one. The Foundation issues upgrade instructions when upgrade audits are required, so your date comes from those instructions and your certification body’s audit programme. Ask your certification body in writing and keep the reply.
Can a certification body still raise an Opportunity for Improvement under Version 7?
No. Version 7 has three grading levels, minor, major and critical nonconformity, and the scheme does not allow Opportunities for Improvement. If your internal audit procedure has an observation or OFI category, align it with the scheme.
How long do I have to close a major nonconformity?
Twenty-eight calendar days from the last day of the audit. If the major cannot be closed in that window the certificate is suspended. A critical nonconformity suspends the certificate within three working days, for a maximum of six months.
Which food chain category does not need a prerequisite programme standard?
Subcategory FII, brokering, trading and e-commerce. It is audited against ISO 22000:2018 and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements only. Every other category adds ISO 22002-100:2025 and a sector part.
Do I receive a certificate after completing the course?
Yes. Learners who complete the required lessons and assessments and are found competent receive a downloadable certificate of completion. The pass mark is 70%.
Is this certification training or awareness training?
These are online training courses that help learners understand and implement FSSC 22000 Version 7 and earn a certificate of completion. They do not replace a formal certification audit by an accredited certification body.
Can ASC help with implementation or audit readiness?
Yes. ASC Food Safety Consultants can support organisations with FSMS implementation, gap audits, internal audit support and certification readiness through the main ASC website, ascfoodsafety.com.
Can I take the FSSC 22000 courses outside South Africa?
Yes. FSSC 22000 is an international scheme and the courses are online, self-paced and in English, so they suit sites in any country. Prices are in rand, with indicative conversions shown on this page.
