Overview

The document corresponds to the translation of the International Standard ISO/IEC 17021 "Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems" which has been prepared in a parallel procedure by ISO/IEC and CEN. The draft preceeding this document has been published with the number E DIN EN 17021-2 under the title "Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems and requirements for third-party certification auditing of management systems - Part 2: Requirements for third party certification auditing of management systems (ISO/IEC DIS 17021-2:2009), German and English version prEN ISO/IEC 17021-2:2009".
