Scope

This International Standard supplements the existing requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1 for third-party certification of management systems and provides additional requirements with respect to the audit process and the management of competence. This International Standard provides a framework for the development of specific criteria for third-party certification auditing and management of competence for different types of management systems or sector applications. The generic requirements in this International Standard take into account the relevant guidance given in ISO 19011:2002 in order to promote harmony between these three documents (ISO/IEC 17021-1, ISO/IEC 17021-2 and ISO 19011).
