4 Introduction The Qualification-based (QB) Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Auditor Certification Program has been developed by Exemplar Global in liaison with industry representatives. The program provides international recognition for auditors who conduct environmental management system audits using national or international management system standards, or other management system standards and normative and industry references that are recognized by Exemplar Global. Confidence and reliance in the audit process depends on the competence of personnel conducting the audit. This personnel certification program has been developed to meet the following key objectives: To achieve the requirements of the International Standard for personnel certification ISO/IEC 17024:2012; To ensure that auditors meet or exceed the qualification guidelines for management system auditors described in ISO 19011:2011 and are assessed as competent to perform quality management system audits; To assist organizations in selecting competent auditors; and To enhance the professional recognition of qualified auditors. Auditors who wish to become certified by Exemplar Global should review this document and the Personnel Certification Guide to better understand the certification requirements prior to applying for certification. If you have any remaining questions regarding personnel certification, please contact an Examiner in your region s Principal Office.
