Produkt- och företagscertifiering Försäkran om överenskommelse

This International Standard contains principles and requirements for the competence, consistency and impartiality of the certification of products (including services; see clause 3.3 of ISO/IEC 17000) and processes and for the bodies providing those activities. Certification bodies operating to this International Standard need not offer all types of product, service or process certification. 1.2 Certification of products, services and processes is a third party conformity assessment activity (see clause 5.5 of ISO/IEC 17000:2004). Bodies performing this activity are therefore third party conformity assessment bodies, (named in this standard "certification body/bodies").

Note 1 A certification body can be non-governmental or governmental (with or without regulatory authority).

Note 2 This International Standard can be used as a criteria document for accreditation or peer assessment or other assessment processes.

This document specifies additional requirements to ISO/IEC 17021-1. The requirements contained in this document, when implemented, support the demonstration of competence, consistency and reliability by the bodies performing auditing and certification of an artificial intelligence management system (AIMS) according to ISO/IEC 42001 for organizations that provide, develop or use AI systems. Certification of AIMS is a third-party conformity assessment activity (as described in ISO/IEC 17000:2020, 4.5), and bodies performing this activity are third-party conformity assessment bodies. This document also provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification has been granted. NOTE This document can be used as a criteria document for accreditation or peer assessment.

This document specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of a food loss and waste management system (FLW management system) complying with the requirements given in ISO 20001 (or other specified FLW management system requirements) and complements the existing requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1.

Other FLW management system users can use the concepts and requirements of this document provided that the requirements are adapted as necessary.

NOTE This document can be used as a criteria document for the accreditation or peer assessment of certification bodies which seek to be recognized as being competent to certify that an FLW management system complies with ISO 20001 or other sets of specified FLW management system requirements. It is also intended to be used as a criteria document by regulatory authorities and industry consortia which engage in direct recognition of certification bodies to certify that an FLW management system complies with ISO 20001. Some of its requirements can also be useful to other parties involved in the conformity assessment of such certification bodies, and in the conformity assessment of bodies that undertake to certify the compliance of FLW management systems with criteria additional to, or other than, those in ISO 20001.
