1 ISO/IEC 17011: 2004 Social Accountability Accreditation Services, June
2 Social Accountability Accreditation Services Mission: SAAS supports social responsibility by ensuring the implementation of credible social standards designed to protect people and their communities. SAAS evaluates and accredits auditing organizations to assure they are qualified to hold their clients accountable to such social standards. 2
3 Accreditation Accreditation is the process by which formal recognition of competence is given to qualified organizations, known as Certification Bodies (CBs). CBs are then granted the ability to perform certifications. Certification of compliance to SA8000 and other verification codes within the SAAS scope of accreditation is available only through qualified CBs granted accreditation by SAAS. Accreditation is necessary to assure stakeholders that the CBs are able to consistently, reliably and effectively perform certification audits and that these audits are carried out in a professional manner. The accreditation process by SAAS includes documentation review, site audits and observation of auditors in the field. 3
4 ISO/IEC 17011:2004 Conformity assessment General requirements for accreditation bodies accrediting conformity assessment bodies. 4
5 ISO/IEC A system to accredit CB conformity assessment services should provide confidence in the CBs competency and ability to perform their tasks. Accreditation bodies provide impartial verification of that competence such verification is done by accreditation bodies that are impartial in relation to both the CBs and their clients. 5
6 SAAS Normative Requirements SAAS maintains a set of Procedures and Policies, revised between 2007 and 2008, that it follows in conducting accreditation work: SAAS Procedure 200 sets out the certification process requirements for Certification Bodies (CBs) undertaking the assessments of organizations against the SA8000 standard. SAAS Procedure 201 sets out the internal policies SAAS must follow in granting and maintaining accreditation of a CB by SAAS. SAAS Procedure 203 contains the qualifications and training requirements for accreditation auditors and SAAS staff. SAAS has also developed a set of Work Instructions that accreditation auditors must follow in undertaking document reviews, on-site office and witness audits, and review of corrective actions. These policies are all written and maintained within the requirements of ISO 17011:
7 SAAS Normative Requirements In addition, SAAS requires implementation of several ISO documents: SAAS maintains procedures and policies in compliance with ISO/IEC 17011:2004, the international standard for accreditation bodies accrediting certification bodies. SAAS requires implementation of ISO/IEC 17021:2006 by all accredited CBs is the international standard setting out requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems. 7
8 ISO/IEC ISO specifies the general requirements for accreditation bodies. Audit and evaluation mechanisms against ISO provides assurance that accreditation bodies are operating in accordance with the standard. SAAS conducts internal audits and management review sessions, as well as undertaking external verification audits to ensure continued compliance with ISO requirements. 8
9 Accreditation and Certification Process 9
10 What is ISO/IEC? What ISO's name means Because "International Organization for Standardization" would have different abbreviations in different languages ("IOS" in English, "OIN" in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), it was decided at the outset to use a word derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal". Therefore, whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of the organization's name is always ISO.
11 What is ISO/IEC? What IEC means IEC = International Electrotechnical Commission The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the leading global organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.
12 How is an ISO standard developed? ISO Standards are developed by international technical committees. DIS = technical committee meets to discuss, debate and argue until they reach consensus on a draft agreement, it is circulated and ISO Members vote FDIS = If the voting is in favor, the document, with modifications, is circulated to the ISO members vote again Standard = If that vote is positive, the document is then published as an International Standard
