Oxebridge is one of the only consultancies in the world that can offer implementation services for ISO 17021-1, the accreditation standard for certification bodies intending to certify management systems.
The ISO 17021-1 “Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems – Part 1:
Requirements” document presents accreditation requirements for Certification Bodies (CBs) who plan to issue ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, or other such management system certifications to clients. CBs typically then undergo an accreditation audit by an IAF signatory Accreditation Body (AB) against ISO 17021-1 in order to issue fully accredited certificates.
