Accreditation Bodies

The Foundation is pleased to work with over 40 Accreditation Bodies (ABs) worldwide who recognize FSSC 22000 as a Certification Scheme that can be certificated under ISO/IEC 17021-1 accreditation. These ABs offer accreditation services to interested Certification Bodies that want to demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the FSSC 22000 Scheme, ISO/IEC 17021-1, and ISO/TS 22003.

To ensure that ABs operate to the highest level of competence and that the standards are applied consistently and equivalently, they are required to meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17011, be a member of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and a signatory to the IAF ISO/IEC 17021 Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) specifically for the FSSC 22000 Scheme.

Lastly, the Foundation is an active member of the International Accreditation Forum. More information about the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) among Accreditation Bodies is available here.
