ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd (ACI) provides independent FSSC 22000 certification for Australian food manufacturers and processors. We audit your food safety system against the scheme requirements and certify where the evidence supports it.

What is FSSC 22000?

FSSC 22000 is a food safety certification scheme recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative. It builds on ISO 22000 by adding sector-specific prerequisite programmes and additional scheme requirements, and is frequently specified by major retailers and manufacturers.

What our certification involves

• Review of your ISO 22000 system and applicable prerequisite programmes
• Assessment of the additional FSSC scheme requirements for your sector
• On-site audit of processing controls, hygiene and monitoring
• Review of food defence, food fraud mitigation and allergen management
• Verification of traceability, recall readiness and corrective action
• Certification followed by scheduled surveillance audits, including unannounced audits where the scheme requires

Why organisations certify

• GFSI recognition, often a condition of supply to major retailers
• Independent verification of manufacturing food safety controls
• Recognised by export customers in multiple markets
• Reduced duplication of customer audits

Our role

ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd is a certification body. We audit and certify — we do not design, document or implement management systems for the organisations we assess. That separation is what gives our certificates value to the customers, regulators and trading partners who rely on them.
