Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems (ISO/IEC 17021:2006)

ISO/IEC 17021:2006 contains principles and requirements for the competence, consistency and impartiality of the audit and certification of management systems of all types (e.g. quality management systems or environmental management systems) and for bodies providing these activities. Certification bodies operating to this International Standard need not offer all types of management system certification.
Certification of management systems is a third-party conformity assessment activity. Bodies performing this activity are therefore third-party conformity assessment bodies.

Konformitätsbewertung - Anforderungen an Stellen, die Managementsysteme auditieren und zertifizieren (ISO/IEC 17021:2006)

Diese Internationale Norm enthält Grundsätze für und Anforderungen an die Kompetenz, Folgerichtigkeit und Unparteilichkeit von Audits und Zertifizierungen von Managementsystemen jeglicher Art (z. B. Qualitäts¬management¬systemen oder Umweltmanagementsystemen) und für Stellen, die diese Tätigkeiten ausführen. Zertifizierungsstellen, die nach dieser Internationalen Norm arbeiten, müssen nicht alle Arten von Managementsystem-Zertifizierungen anbieten.
Zertifizierung von Managementsystemen (in dieser Internationalen Norm als Zertifizierung bezeichnet) ist eine Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeit durch eine dritte Seite (siehe ISO/IEC 17000:2004, 5.5). Stellen, die diese Tätigkeit anbieten, sind daher Konformitäts¬bewertungsstellen und werden in dieser Internationalen Norm verkürzt als Zertifizierungsstellen bezeichnet.
ANMERKUNG 1   Diese Anmerkung gilt nur für den englischen Text.
ANMERKUNG 2   Eine Zertifizierungsstelle kann nichtstaatlich oder staatlich sein (mit oder ohne regelsetzender Kompetenz).
ANMERKUNG 3   Diese Internationale Norm kann als Vorgabe für die Akkreditierung oder Begutachtung unter Gleichrangigen bzw. für andere Auditprozesse genutzt werden.

Évaluation de la conformité - Exigences pour les organismes procédant à l'audit et à la certification de systèmes de management (ISO/IEC 17021:2006)

L'ISO/CEI 17021:2006 spécifie les principes et les exigences relatives à la compétence, à la cohérence et à l'impartialité lors des audits et lors de la certification de systèmes de management de tous types (par exemple systèmes de management de la qualité ou systèmes de management environnemental) et relatives aux organismes fournissant cette activité. Les organismes de certification conformes à la présente Norme internationale ne sont pas tenus de proposer tous les types de certification de système de management.
La certification de systèmes de management est une activité d'évaluation de la conformité par tierce partie. Les organismes exerçant cette activité sont par conséquent des organismes d'évaluation de la conformité par tierce partie.
