Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ISO 22000 and who needs it? +

ISO 22000 is the international Food Safety Management System (FSMS) standard. Any food business — manufacturers, processors, ingredient suppliers, packers, transporters, retailers — benefits from certification. It is required by many export-destination countries, international retailers, institutional buyers and is increasingly required by major corporate supply chains.

Is FSSAI registration enough, or do I need ISO 22000? +

FSSAI registration is the legal minimum in India. ISO 22000 goes far beyond FSSAI — demonstrating systematic hazard analysis, HACCP controls, traceability and preventive management. It's essential for exporters, retailers, institutional suppliers and businesses wanting to differentiate on food safety.

What is the difference between ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000? +

ISO 22000 is the foundational standard. FSSC 22000 builds on ISO 22000 by adding sector-specific prerequisite programmes (PRPs) and is GFSI-recognised — required by most major international retailers. Jayvin designs ISO 22000 systems with FSSC upgrade in mind, making the transition seamless.

How long does ISO 22000 certification take? +

Typically 4 to 7 months depending on company size, product complexity, facility layout and current food safety maturity. Jayvin's gap analysis gives you a realistic project timeline from the start.

Does ISO 22000 require investment in new equipment? +

Not necessarily. ISO 22000 focuses on management systems, hazard identification, control procedures and monitoring — not equipment. However, hazard analysis may reveal the need for additional sanitation or control measures. Jayvin designs practical, cost-effective solutions aligned with your facility capabilities.
