Overview
A complete operating framework for a certification body offering ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification, structured on ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 and carrying the quality-management auditing competence requirements of ISO/IEC TS 17021-3. ISO 9001 is the flagship scheme of most certification bodies, and volume is what makes it demanding: decisions on audit time, auditor assignment and nonconformity grading have to be reached the same way by every auditor, and stay reconstructable from the record years afterwards.
A quality manual fixes governance, the impartiality mechanism and the body's own management system; a separate scheme document defines the ISO 9001 programme. Procedures carry a client from application review and audit-time determination through audit programme design, Stage 1 and Stage 2 execution, technical review, certification decision, surveillance and recertification, and forms turn each step into evidence — audit time calculation, audit plan, stage reports, nonconformity reports, decision records and certificates. An ISO 9001:2015 audit checklist and a self-assessment checklist against ISO/IEC 17021-1 and 17021-3 close the set.
What this system covers
- Impartiality and conflict of interest — governance mechanism, personnel declarations and safeguards
- Application review and audit time — scope, time calculation and multi-site sampling before contract
- Stage 1 and Stage 2 auditing — readiness review, planning, evidence and nonconformity grading
- Technical review and certification decision — taken independently of the audit team, and recorded
- Maintaining certification — surveillance, recertification, special audits, suspension, withdrawal and scope change
- Auditor competence — evaluation, witness audits, induction and development to ISO/IEC TS 17021-3
- Complaints, appeals and use of marks — independent handling, and control of certified clients' claims
Who it's for
Certification bodies preparing for initial accreditation to ISO/IEC 17021-1 for ISO 9001, and established bodies rebuilding a scheme after an assessment finding. It suits the scheme owner who must hand an assessor a coherent set of documents and then show that auditors work to them, leaving that owner an editable framework to populate with their own governance and decision rules.
