Review the site's current certificate, scope, audit history and open actions with the licensed body.

Plan the next cycle and the applicable version

Review the site's current certificate, scope, audit history and open actions with the licensed body. Agree the next surveillance or recertification arrangements and the programme version. Continuing certification is not achieved by changing dates on the previous manual.

The official transition allows V6 audits through 30 April 2027 and V7 upgrade audits from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2028. The upgrade forms part of the next full surveillance or recertification audit, rather than a separate stand-alone document review. Confirm the site's actual arrangement with the body.

Recheck effectiveness after a detection-system change

FSSC's additional requirements include equipment management. The preparation review should identify operational changes since the previous audit and whether existing control evidence still represents the equipment in use. An old corrective-action closure may need current supporting evidence.

Hypothetically, foreign-object detection software changes, but the closed action points only to checks for the old model. Compare the change record, current settings, responsible technical review and genuine effectiveness checks for the actual line. Do not treat the supplier's invoice or a renamed report as proof; do not prescribe an unverified universal test size.

Maintain a genuine action trail and decision boundary

Assign remaining reviews, staff handover and evidence retrieval to responsible people. Keep actual dates, findings and limitations visible, and verify that completed work addresses the operational gap. Do not reconstruct missing historical checks from memory as if they were original records.

The business operates controls and responsible technical decisions; the licensed body conducts the applicable audit and certification decision. Consultancy cannot automatically extend certification, remove a nonconformity or guarantee a successful V7 upgrade. The applicant implements the system and prepares procedures specific to its own operations and operating records. A certification enquiry to Kayra concerns actual activities, sites, application information, authority and impartiality risks; this role does not include designing or implementing the client’s system. For FSSC certification, separately verify the selected legal entity’s programme licence, relevant scope and current status; ISO 22000 accreditation alone is not an FSSC licence. A management-system certification body, other parts of the same legal entity and controlled entities cannot offer or provide management-system consultancy; separate contracts do not remove this restriction.
