2 1 PURPOSE The purpose of this annex to the D05-02 document is to lay down the scope and methods of assessment that are specific for the assessment of certification bodies and/or different certification schemes. General instructions for assessments of certification bodies and specific instructions applicable only to certain types of certification bodies and/or particular certification schemes are included. 2 ASSESSMENT FOCUSES The assessment of certification bodies includes the assessment of the main site of the certification body, or its dislocated sites at which the key activities are performed, and the assessment of the audits being performed at its clients. 2.1 Head office or dislocated sites In the course of the assessment of the certification body's head office or its dislocated sites, the assessor team shall use, in addition to the general assessment techniques, the following techniques: examination of records, system documents, interviews with the certification body's staff. They shall especially focus on: organizational structure of certification body, the appropriate position and composition of the Certification Board / mechanism for safeguarding impartiality / committee for safeguarding impartiality (involvement of all parties interested in certification, involvement of specific parties interested in certification of different management systems, a balanced representation of interested parties) and the authorities of the Board / mechanism for safeguarding impartiality / impartiality protection committee for safeguarding impartiality ensuring impartiality of certification activities, identifying risk to impartiality, controlling risks, (ongoing activity, providing information to the Board / mechanism for safeguarding impartiality / impartiality protection committee for safeguarding impartiality top management commitment); financial stability, resources; appropriate relations and cooperation with clients (access to certification service, appropriate contracts with clients, non-discriminatory treatment of clients); ensuring confidentiality; proper division of the functions of certification/education/verification/testing/inspection, when several such activities are performed within the same certification body; appropriate management of the competencies of the staff involved in certification procedures; the certification process, and controlling and maintaining records in order to prove efficient implementation of the certification process; the assurance of independence at the decision-making level as to grant/refuse/withdraw a certificate, and auditing; the suitability of subcontractors, when relevant; the performance of key activities at dislocated sites; the efficiency of the control system for the sites at which the critical activities are performed, when relevant; Revision 7 Effective as of: Page 2 of 15
3 the performance of conformity assessment procedures abroad; accessibility (public accessibility of information); the use of certification mark (EA-2/13); the implementation of the relevant IAF, EA and other guidance documents (D05-10); and whether the activity is performed in all the fields from the scope of accreditation Certification body operating certification of products/processes/services When assessing a certification body operating certification of products/processes/services (hereinafter referred to as certification body for products), the following shall be checked in addition to the list under 2.1 above: meeting of sector-specific requirements; procedures in different product certification schemes, sampling procedures; whether the certification body itself performs the testing or calibration or inspection for the needs of certification, and whether it is competent for the performance of these activities under the requirements of the relevant standards. In the case that the certification body cannot provide an appropriate evidence of its competence for testing/calibration/inspection, its compliance against the accreditation requirements referring to testing, calibration and inspection activities shall also be checked during the assessment; procedures in the case of a multi-site certification procedure (IAF MD 1) Certification bodies operating certification of organic production and processing The assessment relates to the scope of accreditation for the product categories stated in D Also the information obtained by the relevant ministry and the commission shall be taken into consideration in the course of assessments. When accreditation is extended to another product category, the competence of auditors shall be checked. When assessing a certification body which performs certification in third countries, the requirements of EA 3/12 M, clause 3 shall be complied with Certification body operating certification of persons In assessing a certification body for persons, the following shall be checked in addition to that mentioned under 2.1: specification of pre-conditions for acceding to certification; relation with training activity in the field of certification, when relevant, and assurance of impartiality; certification of "own" personnel; assurance of adequate conditions for certification; whether the certification body performs testing, calibration or inspection for the requirements of certification by itself and whether it is qualified for such activities according to the requirements of the relevant standards. If the certification body possesses no adequate evidence of competence Revision 7 Effective as of: Page 3 of 15
4 for testing/calibration/inspection, the assessment shall likewise comprise of conformity with the requirements for accreditation which apply to the testing, calibration and inspection activity. assurance of safety throughout the certification procedure (test materials, cheating); and control of certification scheme (development, approval and maintenance of certification scheme, monitoring changes) Certification body operating certification of management systems When assessing a certification body for certification of management systems, the following shall be checked in addition to that mentioned under 2.1: the procedure of defining the requirements for the competencies (knowledge, experience, skills) of the staff taking part in conducting and carrying out audits and certification (for all types of management systems, for any technical field and for any function in certification process), and the results of implementation of the procedure (ISO/IEC 17021:2011, 7.1.2, Annex A; IAF MD9, Annex 2, IAF MD 10); the procedure of initial competence evaluation, regular monitoring of competencies of the staff taking part in conducting and carrying out audits (ISO/IEC 17021:2011, 7.1.3; ISO/TS 22003, and 7.2.3), and evidence of meeting the requirements for staff (IAF MD 10); the procedure of selecting and appointing the auditor team (selection criteria) (ISO/IEC 17021:2011, 9.1.3); the procedure of defining the time for audits (appropriateness of criteria) (ISO/IEC 17021:2011, 9.1.4); drawing up an audit plan for the complete certification cycle, indicating audit activities (ISO/IEC 17021:2011, ); defining the audit objectives (certification body), scope of audit (integrated,, participants roles) and audit criteria as well as reporting on achievements (ISO/IEC 17021:2011, ); the auditors competencies, especially when the certification of environmental management and health and safety at work is concerned in the fields where the clients' representativeness is poor and the audit is carried out less frequently. The frequency of assessing the adequateness of maintenance of auditors' competencies in individual fields shall be adapted by the assessor to the speed of development of techniques, technologies and systems for individual fields, (e.g., the fields of EAC 19, EAC 33, EAC 3, EAC 12, EAC 13 will need more frequent assessment of the proper maintenance of competencies); the procedure of evaluating the efficiency of corrections and corrective action (ISO/IEC 17021:2011, ); the procedures in the "multi-site" certification procedure (IAF MD 1); the procedures of the two-stage audit (ISO/TS 22003, ); and how in its determination of the audits duration, the certification body complies with the IAF MD5 (duration of QMS and EMS audits), IAF MD 11 (integrated audits) (as a sample at each assessment), and with ISO/TS 22003, and Certification of food safety management systems to ISO The assessment relates to the scope of accreditation classified according to the categories mentioned in D05-11 (the same as in ISO/TS 22003:2007, Annex A): Revision 7 Effective as of: Page 4 of 15

The certification scope shall be grouped in clusterof categories, as follows: 1. Farming (A+B) Revision 7 Effective as of: Page 12 of 15
13 2. Food and feed processing (C+D+E+F) 3. Distribution, transport and storage (H+J) 4. Catering (G) 5. Production of (bio-)chemical products (L) 6. Supporting activities (I+K+M). The grant/extension of accreditation for a category shall not be possible without witnessing at least one audit in the cluster. Priority shall be given to a higher risk sector in assuring safe food. Witnessing is not mandatory for extension to a category within the cluster. Audits from all clusteres shall be witnessed during one accreditation cycle. During each witnessing (surveillance, re-assessment) of the certification body, the audit in the cluster 2 shall be witnessed. Witnessing of categories in other clusteres shall be planned so as to witness at least one category in each cluster within the context of accreditation cycle. At least one witnessing in the accreditation cycle shall cover witnessing of audit level 1 and 2. The above-mentioned shall be the minimum requirements that SA will adapt to the specific situation in individual certification body Certification body operating certification of products/processes/services The initial assessment and the re-assessment of individual scheme of a certification body for products/processes/services shall involve the witnessing of a representative part of the audits/inspections of those products, services and processes which are more critical in terms of protection of health of humans and animals, protection of nature and protection of property, or at least two audits/inspections at the manufacturers. In certification bodies for organic production and processing, at least one witnessing shall be performed in the context of initial assessment in each category of products applied for. Additional factors contributing to the definition of the number of witnessings are the criticality of findings and the number of countries in which the certification body is operating, and the number of certificates granted. At least one inspection shall be witnessed in each category of products within one accreditation cycle. One witnessing shall be added per each 10 countries in the EU, in which the certification is active. The inspections in relation with which the certification body assesses higher risk shall be chosen for witnessing; witnessing shall be carried out during the time when the crops are at the site of inspection, and different inspectors shall be witnessed at work. The results of previous witnessings shall be taken into account when making the selection. In the case of extensions to other categories of products, at least one inspection in each new category shall be witnessed (EA-3/12 M) Certification body operating certification of persons The initial assessment and the re-assessment of a certification body for persons shall involve the witnessing of a representative number of procedures for individual groups, methods, levels of competence of persons, or at least two certification procedures for persons. The site of performing the certification procedure shall also be considered when making the selection. Revision 7 Effective as of: Page 13 of 15
14 Regular surveillance shall involve the witnessing of at least one audit in the context of individual certification scheme. Witnessing of audits during the surveillance visits shall be carried out according to a programme prepared by the Sector Manager together with the assessors after the conclusion of the initial assessment. It shall be provided for that each group of activities, products, services, processes, and each group of persons from the scope of accreditation has been witnessed between two reassessments, and that the supervising activity has been witnessed at least once during this time. A multi-site organisation shall be taken into consideration when planning. The assessor team shall define, for each surveillance, which field from a group of activities, or which auditor they want to witness, all by taking into account the diversity of activities and auditors. If possible, the witnessing of audits should be carried out during the assessment at the certification body's head office, if not, between two surveillance visits. The share of certificates issued abroad shall also be considered in planning the witnessing of all certification bodies. 4 RECORDS Each assessor shall note his/her records about the assessment carried out on the assessment checklists (forms OB05-53/OB05-78 for certification bodies for products; form OB05-60 for certification bodies for persons; form OB05-58 certification bodies for management systems) such that it is clear what is the scope and which is the assessment method of single system elements against the requirements of relevant standards and guides for certification bodies, as well as any possible general findings and specific comments, and references to the nonconformities found. The precise defining of field (e.g. activity, group of persons, product certification scheme) shall be of particular importance for the vertical audits carried out. A mandatory supplement to the technical assessor s assessment checklist is also the form OB05-43, Report of witnessing of audit. The report shall be prepared separately for each procedure witnessed. 5 CHANGES WITH REGARD TO PREVIOUS REVISION In sub-clause 3.2, further detailed instructions for planning the witnessed audits have been added; furthermore, groups of activities for each individual system management certification scheme have been determined with the purpose of ensuring coverage of the scope of accreditation within the assessment period s by the witnessed audits. In the instructions for assessment of certification bodies for certification of personnel, principles have been added for the case where a certification body itself performs testing, calibration or inspection for the needs of certification. The changes are visible in the text. 6 TRANSITORY PROVISIONS 7 CONTROL OF THE DOCUMENT A valid document shall be kept in i4 (SA Information System).
