ISO 30301 specifies requirements to be met by management systems for records (MSR) in order to support an organization in the achievement of its mandate, mission, strategy and goals. It addresses the development and implementation of a records policy and objectives and gives information on measuring and monitoring performance.
ISO/IEC TS 17021-14:2022 complements the requirements in ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015. In particular, it clarifies the requirements for the competence of personnel involved in the certification process set out in ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, Annex A.
Certification bodies have a responsibility to interested parties, including their clients and the customers of the organizations
whose management systems are certified, to ensure that only those auditors who demonstrate relevant competence are allowed to conduct audits of management systems for records (MSR). It is intended that all auditors possess the generic competencies described in ISO/IEC 17021-1, as well as the specific competencies described in this document. Certification bodies will need to identify the specific audit team competence needed for the scope of each audit.
