About ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015
ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 sets principles and requirements for the competence, consistency, and impartiality of bodies that audit and certify management systems. DR ISO Malaysia helps certification bodies translate these requirements into practical governance, documented processes, competent personnel controls, and assessment-ready evidence.
