INTRODUCTION  \nIn accordance with the FSSC 22000 Scheme V6, Part 2, Section 2.2, the Foundation publishes interpretation articles related to Scheme requirements that include further clarification on requirements and the application and/or implementation thereof. Certification Bodies and Certified Organizations need to adhere to these interpretation articles, and it is the responsibility of the FSSC 22000 contact person to keep up to date with the interpretation articles and communicate it to the relevant parties within the CB or to Certified organizations, as applicable.  \nThis Scheme Interpretation Article on Additional Requirement 2.5.1 (a) is in place to provide further clarification on the laboratory analysis requirements and the implementation thereof.  \nFSSC 22000 additional requirement 2.5.1 (a) on laboratory analysis of parameters critical to food safety, is applicable to all food chain categories.  \nThis additional requirement was updated as BoS decision \\#4 within the Version 6 Board of Stakeholders Decision List, published in March 2024. The update was made to align with GFSI benchmarking requirements and is applicable to all Version 6 audits as of 1 April 2024.  \n2.
