ISO 17021-1 requires:
8.2.2 The certification document(s) shall identify the following:
- f) the scope of certification with respect to the type of activities, products and services as applicable at each site without being misleading or ambiguous”
Should CAB identify on ISO 9001:2015 certificates additional information about which requirements of this standard are “non-applicable”?
March 2019
If requirements have been considered as non-applicable, this shall be justified and recorded by the CB in the client file, but this information shall not appear on the certificate: if the requirements were not applicable, the certification delivered is fully an ISO 9001:2015 certification, with no restriction.
The scope of the certificate should be clear with regard to the activities certified, for example “design and manufacture of …..”, or “manufacture of……”.
