ISO and IAF have come forward, VEHEMENTLY voicing their opposition against (accredited or otherwise) certification against ISO 26000, asking for cases of ISO 26000 misuse to be reported to the ISO Secretariat. I applaud them for doing that.
What puzzles me is the fact that certificates being issued against other non-certifiable standards (already reported here), such as ISO 10002, ISO 10004, ISO 31000, BS PAS99, etc...have no such reaction from the two entities. I wonder why, especially because such standards CLEARLY indicate they are not to be used for certification purposes.
Why the "double standard"? (pun intended)
