Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

Introduction

ISO 37101 sets out a coherent framework to enable community to develop its purposes and vision. Personnel certifying the management system for sustainable development in communities need to have generic competencies described in ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, as well as the specific management system competencies described in this document.

This document complements the requirements in ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 and the guiding principles in ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, Clause 4. In particular, it clarifies the requirements for the competence of personnel involved in the certification process set out in ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, Annex A.

The scope of this document is not limited to the competence of the auditors only, but covers other certification personnel as well: personnel conducting the application review to determine audit team competence required, to select the audit team members, and to determine the audit time; personnel reviewing audit reports and making certification decisions.

Certification bodies have a responsibility to interested parties, including their clients and the customers of the organizations whose management systems are certified, to ensure that only those auditors who demonstrate relevant competence are allowed to conduct audits of a management system for sustainable development in communities. It is intended that all auditors possess the generic competencies described in ISO/IEC 17021-1, as well as the specific competencies described in this document. Certification bodies will need to identify the specific audit team competence needed for the scope of each audit.

In this document, the following verbal forms are used:

• “shall” indicates a requirement;
• “should” indicates a recommendation;
• “may” indicates a permission;
• “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.

Further details can be found in the ISO/IEC Directives, 2.
