I am not sure if I understand the question, but the verbiage in the CB contract is a result of pressure by accreditation bodies, likely ANAB, that realized after a string of debacles that many organizations in the receiving end of regulatory notices of violation had their management system certified by accredited CB’s who, for the most part were unaware and/or unresponsive to the situation. Most CB’s like to boast the cliche that a management system audit is not a regulatory oversight. But they want everyone to conveniently forget that regulatory compliance is one of the key objectives for any management system.
So, the language in the contract is an attempt to force registrants to disclose regulatory breaches to the CB.
