WHAT’S NEW
Regarding the fee structure after the SSCAP free provision period ends and the free period for new SSCAP registrations from December 2025 onwards
The Japan Food Safety Management Association (JFSM) is pleased to announce the pricing structure for our Sustainable Supply Chains Assessment Platform (SSCAP) after the free trial period ends. We will also be reviewing the free trial method for new users registering from December 2025 onwards.
■Reason for reviewing the free trial method
We have now officially decided on the SSCAP usage fees, which have been undetermined until now.
In line with this, we will be changing the free trial method from the "individual method" with free access for two years from the date of registration to a "general method" with free access until the end of 2026, so that not only those who have already tried it, but also many others in the future, can more easily experience SSCAP.
■End date and time of the "individual method with free access for two years from the date of registration"
The "individual method with free access for two years from the date of registration" will end at 9:59 AM on Monday, December 1, 2025.
For new registrations made by 9:59 AM on Monday, December 1, 2025, the current "Individual Method" with two years of free service from the date of registration will be applied.
■ Start Date and Time of "Mass Method" with Free Service Until the End of 2026
The "Mass Method" with free service until the end of 2026 will begin at 10:00 AM on Monday, December 1, 2025.
New registrations made after 10:00 AM on Monday, December 1, 2025 will be eligible for free service until 11:59 PM on December 31, 2026.
■ To Existing Customers
For customers who have already registered and are currently eligible for the "Individual Method" with two years of free service from the date of registration, their two-year free period from the date of registration will continue. Please rest assured that you will be able to continue using the data and various functions stored in SSCAP even after the free period ends.
For service fees after the free period ends, please refer to the "Pricing Structure After the Free Period" section below.
■For those considering SSCAP registration
If you wish to apply for the "individual method free of charge for two years from the date of registration," please register by 9:59 AM on Monday, December 1, 2025.
