Hello Colleagues,
Recently I had a great discussion regarding potential ethical aspects while being Consultant and Certifier within one organization.
Will appreciate it if someone could explain in details: Why ISO consulting company cannot be registrar and vice versa?
In 10019 it states : 4.3 Ethical considerations:
c) maintain independence from quality management system certification/registration or accreditation bodies,
d) maintain impartiality in the organization's selection of certification/registration bodies, …
then why can't company has two separate and independent from each other departments: consulting – to advise company how to get certified and certifier – to certify (like holding I would say)? Are there any accreditation rules that prohibit this?
Thanks in advance!
