I wonder if RABQSA will follow the same route....
IRCA and UK CBMC today announced a planned change to the UK Aerospace Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) scheme auditor authentication process.
From March 2013, IRCA will cease to process or manage ICOP scheme auditor authentications and a new process will be put in place under UK CBMC for this element. IRCA certificated aerospace auditors will continue to have the option to maintain their IRCA aerospace QMS auditor certification with IRCA, however without the ICOP scheme element.
The change recognises the benefit of separating ICOP scheme auditor authentication from the IRCA aerospace auditor certification scheme and providing greater clarity for industry and control for UK CBMC.
IRCA and UK CBMC have committed to ensuring a smooth transition of ICOP scheme auditor authentication from IRCA to the alternative provider and to minimising the impact on ICOP scheme auditors and their employers. IRCA and UK CBMC will notify auditors and certification bodies of any new arrangements in due course, and for now there is no requirement for any action by IRCA ICOP scheme authenticated auditors.
IRCA aerospace auditors who have questions may contact IRCA Certification Manager, Max Linnemann, [email protected]
UK CBMC may be contacted via [email protected]
