The ISO 17021-1 standard requires the existence of an impartial group or committee with relevant yet independent expertise that can review the activities of the Certification Body (i.e. all members of BRSM staff involved in the certification process) and safeguard its impartiality.
BRSM’s Impartiality Committee is an independent group chaired by an independent BRSM’s Director and operating within its Terms of Reference. The Committee monitors the activities of the certification body through regular meetings where certification activities are reviewed and staff provide reports and respond to queries from committee members. The wider activities of the BRSM are also reviewed to assess for any potential areas which might impact the Certification Body’s capacity to function impartially. The committee also works to engage with a variety of stakeholders to inform and answer questions on the purpose and progress of BRSM’s Accreditation body and its role going forward as well as seeking input and feedback from these impartial groups.
BRSM’s Impartiality committee is on 12 November 2017, for any question please contact us!
