3 Section I: Introduction Auditing is one of the most crucial elements of a System. It gives an opportunity to the organization to assess its performance and identify areas to further improve the existing Systems. Educational qualifications and experience are very necessary for a person to become a competent auditor. Besides these a strict code of conduct helps in establishing respect for the system certification. NRBPT is offering the scheme for Registration of QMS (ISO 9001:2000) Auditors. This scheme has been prepared based on international guidelines so as to bring it in uniformity with the global requirements. Local requirements have also been kept into consideration while formulating the scheme. In some countries, the process for verifying the qualifications and experience of auditors to specified criteria and granting recognition by the auditor registration body is called Registration or Certification or Accreditation. This document refers to such processes as Registration of Auditors. As part of the Registration Process, the applicant will be evaluated against requirements which reflect the key skills, knowledge and experience that define competence and which a QMS 2000 auditor need to have and demonstrate during an Audit. NRBPT reserves all rights to amend its QMS auditor certification criteria, procedures, fees etc. as appropriate. Applicants are requested to refer to the updated criteria before applying for NRBPT Auditor Registration. Registration under this scheme is available, without restriction, to all applicants who satisfy the registration requirements. The scope of registration is general, i.e. it does not include nor does it require any industry sector specific competencies. You may select from a list, up to 4 standard industry sectors within which you have acquired work experience. These details, although included within the register, are self declarations and are outside the scope of registration. Although all information provided by applicants will be kept confidential, NRBPT reserves the right to utilize the information provided by the applicants for legal, research, for sharing with other IPC members or for any other purpose as may be deemed fit by NRBPT. We value your suggestions and feedback. Please contact NRBPT Office for latest information. 2
