ISO/IEC 17021-1 specifies the general principles and requirements for bodies that provide audit and certification of management systems, applying to organizations that certify standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, and others. The standard addresses critical areas including impartiality and independence, the competence of personnel involved in certification, confidentiality and ethical behavior, the consistency of certification processes, and the reliability of certification decisions. Its purpose is to ensure that certifications issued worldwide are credible, comparable, and trustworthy.
This course is an introductory awareness and foundation-level program focused on ISO/IEC 17021-1. It explains the purpose, structure, and key requirements of the standard without going into advanced audit execution techniques. ISO/IEC 17021-1 is critical because it forms the foundation of trust in ISO certifications, as organizations, regulators, and customers rely on certified management systems to make informed decisions based on the integrity of certification bodies. The standard helps prevent conflicts of interest, ensures objective and impartial certification decisions, maintains the international acceptance of certificates, supports accreditation and regulatory confidence, and ultimately protects the reputation of the ISO certification system.
