FSSC 24000 Social Management System Certification Scheme Version 1.0 P4-3.5.3: Maintenance and requalification of auditors

What does P4-3.5.3 require?

Each auditor does at least five FSSC 24000 audits at different organisations a calendar year as lead or co-auditor (stand-alone stage 1 and special audits excluded); where illness, extended leave, lack of clients or a serious event prevents it, a 12-month platform-flagged exemption needs four audits under SSCI-approved or other APSCA social schemes plus one FSSC 24000 audit, and audits for other licensed CBs may count with uploaded evidence. Auditors attend relevant annual training, can apply local labour and human rights law, and have records; a witnessed stage 2, surveillance or recertification audit every three years checks ISO/IEC 17021-1 Table A.1 skills, scheme knowledge and local labour and human rights issues; and a three-yearly supervisor review of audit and training logs, the witness result and complaints is signed off on the platform.
