- Scope
- This part of ISO/IEC 17021 contains principles and requirements for the competence, consistency and impartiality of bodies providing audits and certification of management systems of any kind. Certification bodies operating under this part of ISO/IEC 17021 are not required to offer all types of management system certifications. Certification of management systems is a third party conformity assessment activity (see ISO/IEC 17000:2004, 5.5) and bodies offering this activity are therefore conformity assessment bodies. NOTE 1 Examples of management systems are environmental management systems, quality management systems, information security management systems. NOTE 2 In this part of ISO/IEC 17021, certification of management systems is referred to as "certification" and third-party conformity assessment bodies are referred to as "certification bodies". NOTE 3 A certification body may be non-governmental or governmental, with or without regulatory authority. NOTE 4 This part of ISO/IEC 17021 may be used as a requirement for accreditation, peer review or other audit processes.
