This International Standard outlines a set of minimum standards for management solutions auditing (i.e., initial, surveillance, and re-certification), with the goal of ensuring a reliable assessment of conformity to the relevant certification requirements. The audit must be conducted by a qualified audit team, with sufficient resources, adhering to the specified certification process, and reporting the findings consistently.
