Witness Inspections

In order for the certification bodies to carry out various certification activities to operate in this direction and the certificates they provide are valid and acceptable in national and international fields, they must be accredited from one of the domestic or foreign accreditation organizations. Accreditation bodies issue this authority after auditing the certification company and making sure that it meets the required criteria.

The scope, product diversity and risk status of the audits to be carried out at the headquarters of the certification body during the initial accreditation requests and during the renewal of the existing accreditation powers are determined by taking into consideration the branches and activities of this organization in foreign countries. If the certification body has other branches outside the headquarters, the branches that are considered critical during the first accreditation audit are also audited.

The main purpose of these audits is to determine the effectiveness of the accreditation activities of the certification body.

Witness inspections are carried out as follows:

  • To measure the knowledge of the auditors working in the certification body
  • See if auditors have mastered the certification program
  • Understand whether auditors have the ability and competence to measure how effective the controls and tests the audited entity is attempting to perform

If the certification body does not have accreditation according to the ISO / IEC 17020 standard, witness audits are performed as audit of inspection activities and evaluation of management systems.

If the certification body is not accredited according to ISO / IEC 17025 standards, witness audits are performed only as monitoring of test activities.

During the initial accreditation audit of the certification body, at least one sub-product within the scope for which certification is applied must be inspected. However, the number of witness inspections may be increased depending on the breadth and complexity of the scopes applied for.

Witness audits are requested during the first accreditation request as well as during the accreditation renewal audits. Before these studies, the planning of the audits to be witnessed (ie the witness audit program) is absolutely carried out.
