Participant role
Accredited certification bodies and registrars
Conducts conformity assessment audits of operators against a published standard and issues, suspends or withdraws certificates: R2, e-Stewards, NAID AAA, ADISA, ISO 14001 and comparable schemes. Accredited by an accreditation body, and commercially independent of the operators it audits.
How this role is defined
- Qualifying activities
- performing certification audits against a named scheme; issuing and maintaining certificates; surveillance audits and corrective-action management.
- Does not qualify alone
- owning or writing the standard; consulting operators toward certification; holding a certificate.
- Boundary vs R01
- the scheme owner writes the standard and accredits or approves bodies; the certification body performs audits under it.
- Boundary vs E10
- consultants prepare operators for audit and cannot audit their own clients.
- B2B scope
- business-to-business only. Activity sold to individual consumers or households never supports this role; a company serving both is admitted on its business-facing evidence alone, with the consumer channel recorded as an attribute of the company, never as grounds for a role.
