IAF Frequently Asked Questions
COV-ID-19 Outbreak
COV-ID-19(新冠疫情)爆发期间
IAF的常见问题
The FAQs are some of the questions that we are frequently asked in some (but not all) of the areas in which IAF Accreditation Body (AB) members and their accredited Certification Bodies (CBs) practice. The questions and answers are not intended to be exhaustive; however, they constitute a common understanding and a guidance to manage, in a harmonized way, the conformity assessment activities under the specific situation of COVID-19.

常见问题是我们经常被问到的一些问题 (但不是全部),这些问题来自于IAF成员认可机构(AB)及其认可的合格评定机构(CBs) 的实践。虽然,问题和解答做不到详尽全面;然而,它们构成了一个共同的理解和指南,以协调一致的方式管理COVID-19(新冠疫情)特定情况下的合格评定活动。

Q25

Q25: During the COVID-19 crisis, if a CAB conducts a part of the recertification of a management system with remote audit activities and plans to complete the remainder of the audit onsite within six months, is it possible to reissue the certificate at the conclusion of the remote audit activities?

A25: If the CAB is not able to perform evaluation activities physically or when these cannot fully be replaced with evaluation activities as per IAF MD 4, then the normal scheduled recertification activities may be postponed for up to 6 months (see Q13)

Despite of this, if the certificate is expired, according to ISO/IEC 17021-1 § 9.6.3.2.5, the certification body can restore certification within 6 months provided that the outstanding recertification activities are completed, otherwise at least a stage 2 shall be conducted.

a certificate can only be renewed if the CAB is able to evaluate all the applicable requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1 (9.6.3.2) through a complete and effective audit of the client’s management system, followed by a successful review and decision making activities

问题25:在COVID-19新冠疫情危机期间,如果一个合格评定机构通过远程审核活动实施了一部分的管理体系再认证,并计划在六个月内完成剩余部分的现场审核,是否有可能基于远程审核活动的结论重新颁发证书?

回答25:如果CAB不能在现场实施评价活动,或者评价活动也不能完全由依据IAF MD 4规定的评价活动所取代时,那么正常计划的再认证活动可能会推迟6个月(见Q13)

尽管如此,如果认证证书过期了,根据ISO/IEC17021-1 9.6.3.2.5,“如果认证机构能够在6个月内完成未尽的再认证活动,则可以恢复认证,否则应至少进行一次第二阶段才能恢复认证。”

只有合格评定机构通过对客户管理体系进行完整而有效的审核,确保ISO/IEC17021-1(9.6.3.2)的所有适用要求都得到满足,并随后实施了成功的复核和(认证)决定活动,认证证书才能更新

Q23

Q23: In consideration of this extraordinary period, if a Management Systems Certification Body is not able to perform audits, physically or with remote audit technique, can an Accreditation Body replace a witness assessment, as required in IAF MD17, with a remote office assessment or with other assessment activities (IAF MD17, § 2.2.1)?

A23: If witnessing cannot be delayed, instead of observing a CAB carrying out conformity assessment services, an Accreditation Body may either :
use other mechanisms (office assessment activities or other assessment activities IAF MD17, § 2.2.1) to assess the scope of accreditation.
or maintain the scope of accreditation providing that the witnessing assessment shall still be conducted immediately once it is possible.  

by IAF FAQ TF  April 22, 2020

回答23:如果见证不能延期,认可机构可以不用观察认证机构的合格评定服务活动,而是采取:

使用其他机制(办公室评审活动或其他评审活动,IAF MD17,2.2.1)来评审认可的范围。

或者保持认可范围,只要有可能,恢复正常后仍应立即进行见证评审。

回答19:是的,只要被观察的远程审核可以完全取代在现场实施的审核。

IAF FAQ 特别工作组  2020年4月11日

Q18

Q18: IAF ID 3:2011 §3 says that “If the risk of continuing certification is low, and based on the collected information the CAB may need to consider alternative short-term methods of assessment to verify continuing system effectiveness for the organization. This may include requesting relevant documentation (for example, management review meeting minutes, corrective action records, results of internal audits, test/inspection reports, etc.) to be reviewed off site by the CAB to determine continuing suitability of the certification (on a short-term basis only)”. Is this time, used to off-site review the documentation provided by the company, to be considered as “audit time” according to IAF MD 5:2019?

A18: yes, the off-site review of the documentation provided by the company is needed to plan and accomplish a complete and effective audit of the client organization’s management system. This time is to be considered as “audit time” according to IAF MD 5:2019. Audit duration may be reduced due to such off-site documentation review.

by IAF FAQ TF April 11, 2020
Q18:IAF ID 3:2011 文件的第3节提到“如果持续认证的风险较低,并且基于收集到的信息,合格评定机构(CABs)可能需要考虑替代的短期评审方法,以验证组织的管理体系的持续有效性。这可能包括要求组织提供相关文件(例如,管理评审会议记录、纠正措施记录、内审结果记录、检测/检验报告等)。由合格评定机构(CABs)实施非现场的审查,以确定认证的持续适宜性(仅短期)”根据IAF MD 5:2019,用于对公司提供的文件进行非现场审核的时间是否被视为“审核时间”?

回答18:是的,需要对公司提供的文件进行非现场审核,以计划和完成对客户组织管理体系全面有效的审核。根据IAF MD 5:2019,该时间将被视为“审核时间”。由于这样的非现场文件审查占用了时间,审核持续时间可能会缩短。

Q17

Q17: During the COVID-19 crisis, if a CAB conducts a part of the initial certification of a management system with remote audit activities and plans to complete the remainder of the audit onsite within six months, is it possible to issue the certificate at the conclusion of the remote audit activities?

A17: No, a certificate can only be issued if the CAB is able to evaluate all the applicable requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1 (9.3.1.2 Stage 1 and 9.3.1.3 Stage 2) through a complete and effective audit of the client’s management system, followed by a successful review and decision making activities. However, this could change for specific schemes.

by IAF FAQ TF April 7, 2020
问题17:在新冠肺炎疫情危机期间,如果CAB(合格评定机构)在对客户管理体系进行初次认证时,一部分审核通过远程审核的方式进行,并计划在六个月内完成剩余部分的现场审核,是否有可能基于远程审核活动的结论颁发证书?

回答17:不可以。如果认证机构能够评审所有适用的ISO/IEC 17021-1 (9.3.1.2第一阶段和9.3.1.3第二阶段)的要求,通过对客户管理体系全面有效的审核,以及随后的成功复核并做出(认证)决定,才能颁发证书。然而,对于特定的认证制度,这种情况可能会有所不同。

Q16

Q16: in order to transfer an Accredited Certification of Management Systems (IAF MD2:2017), is it possible to conduct the pre-transfer visit with remote auditing techniques?

A16: Yes, if all the points listed in § 2.2.4 of IAF MD2:2017 and any issues arising from the document review, for example major nonconformities (2.2.2) can be evaluated remotely. However, this could change for specific schemes.

by IAF FAQ TF April 3, 2020
问题16: 为了转换一个获认可的管理体系认证证书(IAF MD2:2017),是否可以使用远程审核技术进行转换前的访问?

回答16:可以。如果IAF MD2:2017的2.2.4中列出的所有要点以及文件评审中提出的任何问题,例如,严重不符合项(2.2.2),都可以通过远程的方式评价。然而,对于特定的认证制度,这种情况可能会有所不同。

IAF FAQ 特别工作组 2020年4月3日

Q15

Q15: What will happen to the Migration period for ISO 45001; will it be extended?

A15: OHSAS 18001 certification can be extended by up to six months as detailed in FAQ 10. This means that transition period for migrating accredited certifications from OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001:2018 is extended to:
30 September 2021.

The audit for migration can be done with remote audit technique, following what already clarified in Q5.

(Answer updated 11/04/2020)

问题15:ISO 45001的转换期将会发生什么?会延长吗?

回答15:如FAQ 第10项所述,OHSAS 18001认证可以延长六个月。这意味着将获认可的认证从OHSAS 18001:2007转换到ISO 45001:2018的过渡期延长至:2021年9月30日。
转换审核可以使用远程审核技术来完成,遵循问题5中已经阐明的内容。

(答案更新于2020年4月11日)

Q14

Q14: For OH&SMS, according to IAF MD5:2019 (applicable from 7 May 2020), remote auditing techniques shall be limited to reviewing documents/records and to interviewing staff and workers. In addition for OH&SMS, process control and OH&S risk control cannot be audited using remote audit techniques. Considering the specific circumstances, is this valid?

A14: No, considering the specific circumstances, and that the applicability of IAF MD5:2019 has been extended from 7 May 2020 to 7 November 2020 (see Q24), the restriction placed on remote audit activities by IAF MD 5 shall not apply. This means that process control and OH&S risk control can be audited using remote audit techniques until the end of the COVID-19 emergency.

Posted 1st of April and updated the 26th of April

问题14: 对于职业健康安全管理体系,根据IAF MD5:2019(自2020年5月7日起生效),远程审核技术应仅限于审查文件/记录和采访员工和工人。另外,对于职业健康安全管理,过程控制和职业健康安全风险控制不能使用远程审核技术进行审核。考虑到具体情况,这是否还有效?

回答14:不,考虑到具体情况,并且IAF MD5:2019的适用期已从2020年5月7日延长至2020年11月7日(见问题24),IAF MD5对远程审核活动的限制将不再适用。这意味着过程控制和职业健康安全风险控制可以使用远程审核技术进行审核,直到COVID-19紧急事件结束。

Q13

Q13: In consideration of this extraordinary period ,may all of:
l the conformity assessment activities (e.g. surveillances, recertification) be postponed for up to 6 months, and
l The validity of any output of any conformity assessment activity (e.g. a certificate or report) be extended for a corresponding period of up to 6 months?

A13: No. In cases where CABs are still able to perform evaluation activities physically or when these can be fully replaced with evaluation activities as per IAF MD 4, then normal scheduled conformity assessment activities (e.g. surveillances, recertification) should be performed. Otherwise, if the conditions recommended by IAF ID 3: 2011 are satisfied, the normal scheduled conformity assessment activities may be postponed for up to 6 months, and the validity of any output of the conformity assessment activity (e.g. a certificate or report) may be extended for a corresponding period of up to 6 months.

by IAF FAQ TF April 1, 2020
问题13:考虑到这个非常时期。是否所有的合格评定活动,例如监督、再认证,可推迟六个月任何输出或任何合格评定活动(例如证书或报告)的有效期可相应延长至六个月

回答13: 否。如果认证机构仍然能够实施到现场的审核活动,或者根据IAF MD4可以完全实施代替审核的活动,则应执行正常计划的合格评定活动(例如监督、再认证)。否则,如果满足IAF ID 3: 2011建议的条件,正常计划的合格评定活动可以推迟最多6个月,并且合格评定活动的任何输出(例如证书或报告)的有效性可相应延长最多6个月。

Q12

Q12: Is IAF MD4:2018 exclusively applicable for management systems, persons, and product?

A12: No, Although the scope of IAF MD4:2018 is for the auditing /assessment of management systems, persons, and product (see IAF MD4:2018 Section 1-Scope), it can also be used for other types of conformity assessment activities under the IAF MLA, e.g. validation or verification, as referenced in Section 2 – para. 2 of MD4.

by IAF FAQ TF  March 23, 2020
问题12: IAF MD4:2018是否仅适用于管理体系、人员和产品?

回答12: 否,尽管IAF MD4:2018的范围是针对管理体系、人员和产品的审核/评审(参见IAF MD4:2018第1节-范围),但它也可用于IAF MLA框架下的其他类型的合格评定活动,例如,审定或者核查,如MD4文件第2节第二段所述。

IAF FAQ  特别工作组 2020年3月23日

Q11

Q11: Is IAF ID3:2011 exclusively applicable for management systems certification?

A11: No, IAF ID3:2011 is primarily applicable for management systems certification, but it can be applied to all the accreditation and conformity assessment activities under the IAF MLA (see IAF ID3:2011 para. 1): Management systems certification Product certification Certification of persons Validation and Verification

by IAF FAQ TF March 23, 2020
问题11:IAF ID3:2011是否仅适用于管理体系认证?

回答11:否,IAF ID3:2011主要适用于管理体系认证,但它也可以适用于IAF多边协议下的所有认可和合格评定活动(见IAF ID3:2011第1段):管理体系认证、产品认证、人员认证、审定与核查。

IAF FAQ   特别工作组 2020年3月23日

Q10

Q10: For schemes under IAF MLA (Management system certification, Product certification, Certification of persons, Validation and Verification), how are conformity assessment activities to be managed in this extraordinary period?

A10:In consideration of this extraordinary period, for schemes of management system certification, product certification and certification of persons under IAF MLA, if it is not possible to perform evaluation activities (physically or as per IAF MD4: 2018), such as  audits or exams, and if the conditions recommended by IAF ID3: 2011 are satisfied, all the conformity assessment activities (e.g. surveillances, recertification) may be postponed for up to 6 months, and the validity of any output of any conformity assessment activity (e.g. a certificate or report) may be extended for a corresponding period of up to 6 months. In this last instance, in order to document this to the client, if applicable, it is strongly suggested to issue an extension letter, which ratifies this extended validity and its period. This is essential to guarantee transparency and a correct communication to the external market. Appropriate records should also be updated. However, this could change for specific schemes. For validation and verification, particularly the greenhouse gas (GHG) validation and verification at project or organizational level, they are normally one-off conformity activities, therefore the IAF ID3 guidelines related to surveillance, recertification, extension of certification and recertification cycle etc. may not be applicable. However, for the assessment and accreditation of validation and verification bodies (VVBs), IAF ID3 can be used (see A11), and the remote approaches as per IAF MD4:2018 can be used by both ABs and VVBs (see A12).

Updated on 23/03/2020 to include all IAF MLA main scopes.

问题10:对于IAF MLA下的认证制度(管理体系认证、产品认证、人员认证、审定和核查),在此非常时期应该如何管理合格评定活动?

回答10:考虑到这一非常时期,对于在IAF多边互认制度下的管理体系认证、产品认证和人员认证制度,如果无法开展审核活动(到现场或按照IAF MD4: 2018的方法),如审核或考试,并且如果符合IAF ID3: 2011建议的条件,所有合格评定活动(如监督、再认证)可推迟6个月,任何合格评定活动(如证书或报告)的任何输出的有效性可推迟6个月。在最后一种情况下,为了向客户证明这一点,如果适用的话,强烈建议签发一份延期信,批准延长有效性和延长期限。这对于保证透明度和与外部市场的正确沟通至关重要。适当的记录还应保持更新。然而,对于特定的认证制度,这种情况可能会有所不同。对于审定与核查,尤其是是项目或组织层面的温室气体(GHG)审定与核查,它们通常是一次性的符合性活动,因此,IAF ID3准则涉及的监督、再认证、扩大认证和再认证周期等,可能不适用。然而,对于审定与核查机构的评审和认可,可以使用IAF ID3(见A11)。并且认可机构和核查机构也可以按照IAF MD4:2018使用远程审核的方法(见A12)。

于2020年3月23日更新,以包括所有IAF MLA多边互认的主要范围。

Q9

Q9: Is IAF ID3:2011 still applicable even though ID3:2011 refers to an accreditation standard that is no longer valid (ISO/IEC 17021:2011)?

A9: Yes. It is applicable. IAF General Assembly Resolution 2015–15 was taken to confirm this. For the maintenance of IAF Technical Committee documents it states: “The General Assembly, acting on the recommendation of the Technical Committee, resolved that references to ISO/IEC 17021 in IAF documents shall be understood to refer to ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 in relation to CABs that have completed the transition and after the transition period. However, ABs and CABs will need to take account of the changes in ISO/IEC 17021-1 when using IAF documents which may not be revised until after the transition period to reference ISO/IEC 17021-1.”
问题9:即使ID3:2011引用的标准(17021:2011)是失效的,IAF ID3:2011是否仍然适用?

回答9:是的。它是适用的。IAF全会第2015-15号决议已经确认了这一点。关于IAF技术委员会文件的维护,该决议指出:“全会根据技术委员会的建议,决定在IAF文件中提及的ISO/IEC17021应理解为是ISO/IEC17021-1:2015,涉及已完成转换和转换过渡期后的合格评定机构。然而,在使用IAF文件时,认可机构ABs和合格评定机构将需要考虑到ISO/IEC17021-1中的变化,这些文件可能在转换期结束后才能修订,以参考ISO/IEC17021-1。”

Q8

Q8: If there is a postponement of 6 months in the deadline of a certificate, according to IAF ID3, will the next accreditation/certification cycle start from the new deadline, or does the original one need to remain?

A8:The deadline remains the original one. However, it could happen that in specific circumstances the timeline of surveillance could be modified accordingly.

by IAF FAQ TF March 13, 2020
问题8:根据IAF ID3,如果证书的截止日期延期了6个月,下一个认可/认证周期是从新的截止日期开始,还是需要保留原来的周期?

回答8:截止日期仍然是按照原来的认证周期。然而,在特定情况下,监督审核的时间表可能会做相应修改。

IAF FAQ   特别工作组 2020年3月13日

Q7

Q7: What happens if a Company/CB is not comfortable in this period to give access to its location to the AB audit / assessment team for witnessing?

A7:IAF ID3 allows, in extraordinary events or circumstances like this, postponement of the assessment / audits. Moreover, according to IAF MD17:2015 Witnessing Activities for the Accreditation of Management System Certification Bodies and/or relevant timeline modified accordingly, it is justifiable and understandable in this situation that a CB or its client refuses a witness assessment by the AB. It is important to make audits only when there is agreement of all the parties involved (client, CB and AB). See MD17, 2.2.2 and 2.4.2. It is also possible to perform partial witnessing (2.4.10).
问题7:如果一个公司/认证机构在此期间不愿意让认可机构AB的审核/评审组进入其所在地进行见证,会发生什么情况?

回答7:在特殊事件或类似情况下,IAF ID3允许推迟评审/审核。此外,根据IAF MD17:2015《管理体系认证机构的认可见证活动》和/或相关的已修改的时间表,在这种情况下,一个认证机构CB或者他的客户拒绝认可机构AB的见证评审是合理和可以理解的。只有在所有相关方(客户、CB和AB)同意的情况下,安排审核才是重要的。参见MD17文件的2.2.2和2.4.2条款。也可以进行部分见证(参见2.4.10条款)。

IAF FAQ   特别工作组 2020年3月13日

Q6

Q6: Is the limit imposed by ISO/IEC 27006 (maximum 30% of remote audit) still valid?

A6:ISO/IEC 27006 was published in 2015, while IAF MD4 was published in 2018 (Issue 2, Issued 04 July 2018, application from 04 July 2019). So, considering the specific circumstances, for ISO/IEC 27006 the relevant rules of IAF MD4 also are applicable. This means that is possible to adopt to ISO/IEC 27006 the MD4 approach, that is to exceed 30% “off-site” and allow a 100% off-site, during this COVID-19 period.

问题6: ISO/IEC27006(远程审核的时间占比最大不超过30%)规定的限制仍然有效吗?

回答6:ISO/IEC 27006于2015年发布,而IAF MD4于2018年发布(第2版,2018年7月4日发布,2019年7月4日开始生效)。因此,考虑到具体情况,对于ISO/IEC27006,IAF MD4的相关规则也适用。这意味着MD4中的方法可以在ISO/IEC27006的审核中应用,即在COVID-19(新冠疫情)期间超过30%的“非现场”,并允许100%的非现场。

by IAF FAQ TF  March 13, 2020
问题5: 是否有可能以远程的方式实施一次完整的认证审核?

回答5:是的,理论上这是可能的,如果对于特定的认证制度,所有的要求都可以被远程评审,包括对活动的观察。然而,对于特定的认证制度,这种情况可能会有所不同。

Q2

Q2: Is it permissible to use remote assessments and audits to maintain the validity of accredited certifications during the COVID-19 crisis? 

A2:Yes. The IAF Statement on COVID-19 referenced the use of remote assessments and the mandatory document to be used by ABs and CBs, IAF MD4:2018 IAF Mandatory Document for the Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Auditing and Assessment Purposes. In addition, there is also informative document on principles for remote assessments – IAF ID12:2015 Principles on Remote Assessment that can be used in this instance.  It is necessary to bear in mind however, that regulatory bodies, scheme owners and purchasers may have specific requirements that may need to be adhered to, and which may take precedence. IAF ID3 may also assist readers.

问题2:在新冠肺炎疫情危机期间,是否允许使用远程评审和审核来维护认证的有效性?

回答2:是的。IAF关于新冠肺炎疫情的声明中提到了远程评审的使用,以及ABs和CBs使用的强制性文件,IAF MD4:2018, IAF的强制性文件“信息和通信技术在审核和评审中的应用”。此外,还有关于远程评审原则的资料性文件—IAF ID12:2015,该文件中所规定的远程审核原则可在此时期使用。然而需注意是监管机构、方案所有者和购买者可能有其他首先需要遵守的具体要求。IAF ID3也可以帮助其他适用的用户。
