Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of conformity assessment, the ISO Committee on conformity assessment (CASCO) is
responsible for the development of International Standards and Guides.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies
for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:
— an ISO/IEC Publicly Available Specification (ISO/IEC PAS) represents an agreement between
technical experts in an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more
than 50 % of the members of the parent committee casting a vote;
— an ISO/IEC Technical Specification (ISO/IEC TS) represents an agreement between the members of
a technical committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the
committee casting a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for
a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or
ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be
transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC/TS 17021-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, Quality management and
quality assurance, Subcommittee SC 3, Supporting technologies, and the ISO Committee on conformity
assessment (CASCO).
It was circulated for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC, and was approved by both
organizations.
ISO/IEC 17021 consists of the following parts, under the general title Conformity assessment —
Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems:
— Part 2: Competence requirements for auditing and certification of environmental management systems
