(e.g. specified in a standard such as ISO 21001) has
been demonstrated.
• ISO does not carry out certification and does not issue or
approve certificates,
Accreditation
• Accreditation involves recognition of the certification body.
• It means the formal approval by a specialized body - an accreditation body - that a
certification body is competent to carry out ISO 21001 certification
• Accreditation bodies must meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17011, to ensure they
operate against the same rules and principles, and to facilitate cross-border
recognition

certificates - may be perceived on the market as having increased credibility.

Certification not a requirement

money on a certification programme.
“All documents containing requirements for products, processes, services,

persons, systems and bodies shall be written in accordance with the “neutrality
principle”, such that conformity can be assessed by a manufacturer or supplier
(first party), a user or purchaser (second party), or an independent body (third
party).”
Directives Part 2, clause 33.
Certification is a business decision
• Certification is a decision to be taken for business
reasons:
• if it is a contractual, regulatory, or market requirement,
• If it meets learner and other beneficiary preferences
• it is part of a risk management programme, or
• if it will motivate staff by setting a clear goal.
