為確保疫情防控期間認(rèn)證機構(gòu)能夠采取一致和適當(dāng)?shù)拇胧?，確保認(rèn)證有效性，國際認(rèn)可論壇（IAF）公布了一系列“問與答”（FAQ），涉及疫情期間的一些認(rèn)證和認(rèn)可工作的常見問題及答復(fù)。目前IAF發(fā)布的“問與答”文件涉及25個條目。中國合格評定國家認(rèn)可委員會（CNAS）全程參與了“問與答”的研究，并在CNAS官網(wǎng)上提供了英文鏈接和中文參考譯文，供認(rèn)證機構(gòu)在疫情期間開展認(rèn)證審核活動時參考使用。這些常見問題源自疫情期間IAF成員認(rèn)可機構(gòu)（AB）及其認(rèn)可的合格評定機構(gòu)（CBs）向IAF問詢頻率較高的一些問題。

這份“問與答”文件形成了一個共同的理解和指南，使認(rèn)可機構(gòu)及其認(rèn)可的合格評定機構(gòu)能夠協(xié)調(diào)一致地管理疫情特定情況下的合格評定活動。CNAS將以“問與答”文件為認(rèn)可工作指南。凡是“問與答”中IAF已回答的內(nèi)容，CNAS將按此執(zhí)行。

The FAQs are some of the questions that we are frequently asked in some (but not all) of the areas in which IAF Accreditation Body (AB) members and their accredited Certification Bodies (CBs) practice. The questions and answers are not intended to be exhaustive; however, they constitute a common understanding and a guidance to manage, in a harmonized way, the conformity assessment activities under the specific situation of COVID-19.

常見問題是我們經(jīng)常被問到的一些問題 （但不是全部），這些問題來自于IAF成員認(rèn)可機構(gòu)(AB)及其認(rèn)可的合格評定機構(gòu)(CBs) 的實踐。雖然，問題和解答做不到詳盡全面；然而，它們構(gòu)成了一個共同的理解和指南，以協(xié)調(diào)一致的方式管理COVID-19（新冠疫情）特定情況下的合格評定活動。

Q25: During the COVID-19 crisis, if a CAB conducts a part of the recertification of a management system with remote audit activities and plans to complete the remainder of the audit onsite within six months, is it possible to reissue the certificate at the conclusion of the remote audit activities?

A25: If the CAB is not able to perform evaluation activities physically or when these cannot fully be replaced with evaluation activities as per IAF MD 4, then the normal scheduled recertification activities may be postponed for up to 6 months (see Q13)

Despite of this, if the certificate is expired, according to ISO/IEC 17021-1 § 9.6.3.2.5, the certification body can restore certification within 6 months provided that the outstanding recertification activities are completed, otherwise at least a stage 2 shall be conducted.

a certificate can only be renewed if the CAB is able to evaluate all the applicable requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1 (9.6.3.2) through a complete and effective audit of the client’s management system, followed by a successful review and decision making activities

問題25：在COVID-19新冠疫情危機期間，如果一個合格評定機構(gòu)通過遠(yuǎn)程審核活動實施了一部分的管理體系再認(rèn)證，并計劃在六個月內(nèi)完成剩余部分的現(xiàn)場審核，是否有可能基于遠(yuǎn)程審核活動的結(jié)論重新頒發(fā)證書？

回答25：如果CAB不能在現(xiàn)場實施評價活動，或者評價活動也不能完全由依據(jù)IAF MD 4規(guī)定的評價活動所取代時，那么正常計劃的再認(rèn)證活動可能會推遲6個月(見Q13)

盡管如此，如果認(rèn)證證書過期了，根據(jù)ISO/IEC17021-1 9.6.3.2.5，“如果認(rèn)證機構(gòu)能夠在6個月內(nèi)完成未盡的再認(rèn)證活動，則可以恢復(fù)認(rèn)證，否則應(yīng)至少進(jìn)行一次第二階段才能恢復(fù)認(rèn)證。”

只有合格評定機構(gòu)通過對客戶管理體系進(jìn)行完整而有效的審核，確保ISO/IEC17021-1（9.6.3.2）的所有適用要求都得到滿足，并隨后實施了成功的復(fù)核和（認(rèn)證）決定活動，認(rèn)證證書才能更新

Q23: In consideration of this extraordinary period, if a Management Systems Certification Body is not able to perform audits, physically or with remote audit technique, can an Accreditation Body replace a witness assessment, as required in IAF MD17, with a remote office assessment or with other assessment activities (IAF MD17, § 2.2.1)?

A23: If witnessing cannot be delayed, instead of observing a CAB carrying out conformity assessment services, an Accreditation Body may either :

use other mechanisms (office assessment activities or other assessment activities IAF MD17, § 2.2.1) to assess the scope of accreditation.

or maintain the scope of accreditation providing that the witnessing assessment shall still be conducted immediately once it is possible.  

by IAF FAQ TF  April 22, 2020

問題23: 考慮到這一非常時期，如果管理體系認(rèn)證機構(gòu)不能實施審核，無論是現(xiàn)場審核還是使用遠(yuǎn)程審核技術(shù)，認(rèn)可機構(gòu)能否按照IAF MD17的要求，用遠(yuǎn)程辦公室評審或其他評審活動（IAF MD17，2.2.1）取代見證評審？

回答23：如果見證不能延期，認(rèn)可機構(gòu)可以不用觀察認(rèn)證機構(gòu)的合格評定服務(wù)活動，而是采取:

使用其他機制(辦公室評審活動或其他評審活動，IAF MD17，2.2.1)來評審認(rèn)可的范圍。

或者保持認(rèn)可范圍，只要有可能，恢復(fù)正常后仍應(yīng)立即進(jìn)行見證評審。

Q19: According ISO/IEC 17021-1, § 7.2.4, “The initial competence evaluation of an auditor shall include the ability to apply required knowledge and skills during audits, as determined by a competent evaluator observing the auditor conducting an audit”. Is it possible to conduct this observation if the observer is using remote audit techniques?

A19: Yes, provided that the remote audit being observed can fully replace physical audit.

by IAF FAQ TF April 11, 2020

Q19: 根據(jù)ISO/IEC 17021-1，7.2.4，“審核員的初始能力評價應(yīng)包括在審核中應(yīng)用所需知識與技能的本領(lǐng)的證實。在審核中應(yīng)用所需知識與技能的本領(lǐng)應(yīng)由有能力的評價者在對審核員審核的見證中確定。”。如果觀察者使用遠(yuǎn)程審核技術(shù)，是否有可能進(jìn)行這種觀察？

回答19：是的，只要被觀察的遠(yuǎn)程審核可以完全取代在現(xiàn)場實施的審核。

Q18: IAF ID 3:2011 §3 says that “If the risk of continuing certification is low, and based on the collected information the CAB may need to consider alternative short-term methods of assessment to verify continuing system effectiveness for the organization. This may include requesting relevant documentation (for example, management review meeting minutes, corrective action records, results of internal audits, test/inspection reports, etc.) to be reviewed off site by the CAB to determine continuing suitability of the certification (on a short-term basis only)”. Is this time, used to off-site review the documentation provided by the company, to be considered as “audit time” according to IAF MD 5:2019?

A18: yes, the off-site review of the documentation provided by the company is needed to plan and accomplish a complete and effective audit of the client organization’s management system. This time is to be considered as “audit time” according to IAF MD 5:2019. Audit duration may be reduced due to such off-site documentation review.

by IAF FAQ TF April 11, 2020

Q18：IAF ID 3:2011 文件的第3節(jié)提到“如果持續(xù)認(rèn)證的風(fēng)險較低，并且基于收集到的信息，合格評定機構(gòu)（CABs）可能需要考慮替代的短期評審方法，以驗證組織的管理體系的持續(xù)有效性。這可能包括要求組織提供相關(guān)文件（例如，管理評審會議記錄、糾正措施記錄、內(nèi)審結(jié)果記錄、檢測/檢驗報告等）。由合格評定機構(gòu)（CABs）實施非現(xiàn)場的審查，以確定認(rèn)證的持續(xù)適宜性（僅短期）”根據(jù)IAF MD 5:2019，用于對公司提供的文件進(jìn)行非現(xiàn)場審核的時間是否被視為“審核時間”？

回答18：是的，需要對公司提供的文件進(jìn)行非現(xiàn)場審核，以計劃和完成對客戶組織管理體系全面有效的審核。根據(jù)IAF MD 5:2019，該時間將被視為“審核時間”。由于這樣的非現(xiàn)場文件審查占用了時間，審核持續(xù)時間可能會縮短。

Q17: During the COVID-19 crisis, if a CAB conducts a part of the initial certification of a management system with remote audit activities and plans to complete the remainder of the audit onsite within six months, is it possible to issue the certificate at the conclusion of the remote audit activities?

A17: No, a certificate can only be issued if the CAB is able to evaluate all the applicable requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1 (9.3.1.2 Stage 1 and 9.3.1.3 Stage 2) through a complete and effective audit of the client’s management system, followed by a successful review and decision making activities. However, this could change for specific schemes.

Q15: What will happen to the Migration period for ISO 45001; will it be extended?

A15: OHSAS 18001 certification can be extended by up to six months as detailed in FAQ 10. This means that transition period for migrating accredited certifications from OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001:2018 is extended to:

30 September 2021.

The audit for migration can be done with remote audit technique, following what already clarified in Q5.

(Answer updated 11/04/2020)

問題15：ISO 45001的轉(zhuǎn)換期將會發(fā)生什么？會延長嗎？

回答15：如FAQ 第10項所述，OHSAS 18001認(rèn)證可以延長六個月。這意味著將獲認(rèn)可的認(rèn)證從OHSAS 18001:2007轉(zhuǎn)換到ISO 45001:2018的過渡期延長至：2023年9月30日。

轉(zhuǎn)換審核可以使用遠(yuǎn)程審核技術(shù)來完成，遵循問題5中已經(jīng)闡明的內(nèi)容。

Q14: For OH&SMS, according to IAF MD5:2019 (applicable from 7 May 2020), remote auditing techniques shall be limited to reviewing documents/records and to interviewing staff and workers. In addition for OH&SMS, process control and OH&S risk control cannot be audited using remote audit techniques. Considering the specific circumstances, is this valid?

A14: No, considering the specific circumstances, and that the applicability of IAF MD5:2019 has been extended from 7 May 2020 to 7 November 2020 (see Q24), the restriction placed on remote audit activities by IAF MD 5 shall not apply. This means that process control and OH&S risk control can be audited using remote audit techniques until the end of the COVID-19 emergency.

Q13: In consideration of this extraordinary period ,may all of:

l the conformity assessment activities (e.g. surveillances, recertification) be postponed for up to 6 months, and

l The validity of any output of any conformity assessment activity (e.g. a certificate or report) be extended for a corresponding period of up to 6 months?

A13: No. In cases where CABs are still able to perform evaluation activities physically or when these can be fully replaced with evaluation activities as per IAF MD 4, then normal scheduled conformity assessment activities (e.g. surveillances, recertification) should be performed. Otherwise, if the conditions recommended by IAF ID 3: 2011 are satisfied, the normal scheduled conformity assessment activities may be postponed for up to 6 months, and the validity of any output of the conformity assessment activity (e.g. a certificate or report) may be extended for a corresponding period of up to 6 months.

Q12: Is IAF MD4:2018 exclusively applicable for management systems, persons, and product?

A12: No, Although the scope of IAF MD4:2018 is for the auditing /assessment of management systems, persons, and product (see IAF MD4:2018 Section 1-Scope), it can also be used for other types of conformity assessment activities under the IAF MLA, e.g. validation or verification, as referenced in Section 2 – para. 2 of MD4.

by IAF FAQ TF  March 23, 2020

問題12: IAF MD4:2018是否僅適用于管理體系、人員和產(chǎn)品？

回答12: 否，盡管IAF MD4:2018的范圍是針對管理體系、人員和產(chǎn)品的審核/評審(參見IAF MD4:2018第1節(jié)-范圍)，但它也可用于IAF MLA框架下的其他類型的合格評定活動，例如，審定或者核查，如MD4文件第2節(jié)第二段所述。

by IAF FAQ TF March 23, 2020

問題11：IAF ID3:2011是否僅適用于管理體系認(rèn)證？

回答11：否，IAF ID3:2011主要適用于管理體系認(rèn)證，但它也可以適用于IAF多邊協(xié)議下的所有認(rèn)可和合格評定活動(見IAF ID3:2011第1段)：管理體系認(rèn)證、產(chǎn)品認(rèn)證、人員認(rèn)證、審定與核查。

IAF FAQ   特別工作組 2023年3月23日

Q10: For schemes under IAF MLA (Management system certification, Product certification, Certification of persons, Validation and Verification), how are conformity assessment activities to be managed in this extraordinary period?

A10:In consideration of this extraordinary period, for schemes of management system certification, product certification and certification of persons under IAF MLA, if it is not possible to perform evaluation activities (physically or as per IAF MD4: 2018), such as  audits or exams, and if the conditions recommended by IAF ID3: 2011 are satisfied, all the conformity assessment activities (e.g. surveillances, recertification) may be postponed for up to 6 months, and the validity of any output of any conformity assessment activity (e.g. a certificate or report) may be extended for a corresponding period of up to 6 months. In this last instance, in order to document this to the client, if applicable, it is strongly suggested to issue an extension letter, which ratifies this extended validity and its period. This is essential to guarantee transparency and a correct communication to the external market. Appropriate records should also be updated. However, this could change for specific schemes. For validation and verification, particularly the greenhouse gas (GHG) validation and verification at project or organizational level, they are normally one-off conformity activities, therefore the IAF ID3 guidelines related to surveillance, recertification, extension of certification and recertification cycle etc. may not be applicable. However, for the assessment and accreditation of validation and verification bodies (VVBs), IAF ID3 can be used (see A11), and the remote approaches as per IAF MD4:2018 can be used by both ABs and VVBs (see A12).

Updated on 23/03/2020 to include all IAF MLA main scopes.

問題10：對于IAF MLA下的認(rèn)證制度（管理體系認(rèn)證、產(chǎn)品認(rèn)證、人員認(rèn)證、審定和核查），在此非常時期應(yīng)該如何管理合格評定活動？

回答10：考慮到這一非常時期，對于在IAF多邊互認(rèn)制度下的管理體系認(rèn)證、產(chǎn)品認(rèn)證和人員認(rèn)證制度，如果無法開展審核活動(到現(xiàn)場或按照IAF MD4: 2018的方法)，如審核或考試，并且如果符合IAF ID3: 2011建議的條件，所有合格評定活動(如監(jiān)督、再認(rèn)證)可推遲6個月，任何合格評定活動(如證書或報告)的任何輸出的有效性可推遲6個月。在最后一種情況下，為了向客戶證明這一點，如果適用的話，強烈建議簽發(fā)一份延期信，批準(zhǔn)延長有效性和延長期限。這對于保證透明度和與外部市場的正確溝通至關(guān)重要。適當(dāng)?shù)挠涗涍€應(yīng)保持更新。然而，對于特定的認(rèn)證制度，這種情況可能會有所不同。對于審定與核查，尤其是是項目或組織層面的溫室氣體(GHG)審定與核查，它們通常是一次性的符合性活動，因此，IAF ID3準(zhǔn)則涉及的監(jiān)督、再認(rèn)證、擴大認(rèn)證和再認(rèn)證周期等，可能不適用。然而，對于審定與核查機構(gòu)的評審和認(rèn)可，可以使用IAF ID3(見A11)。并且認(rèn)可機構(gòu)和核查機構(gòu)也可以按照IAF MD4:2018使用遠(yuǎn)程審核的方法(見A12)。

于2023年3月23日更新，以包括所有IAF MLA多邊互認(rèn)的主要范圍。

Q9: Is IAF ID3:2011 still applicable even though ID3:2011 refers to an accreditation standard that is no longer valid (ISO/IEC 17021:2011)?

A9: Yes. It is applicable. IAF General Assembly Resolution 2015–15 was taken to confirm this. For the maintenance of IAF Technical Committee documents it states: “The General Assembly, acting on the recommendation of the Technical Committee, resolved that references to ISO/IEC 17021 in IAF documents shall be understood to refer to ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 in relation to CABs that have completed the transition and after the transition period. However, ABs and CABs will need to take account of the changes in ISO/IEC 17021-1 when using IAF documents which may not be revised until after the transition period to reference ISO/IEC 17021-1.”

問題9：即使ID3:2011引用的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)（17021:2011）是失效的，IAF ID3:2011是否仍然適用？

回答9：是的。它是適用的。IAF全會第2015-15號決議已經(jīng)確認(rèn)了這一點。關(guān)于IAF技術(shù)委員會文件的維護，該決議指出:“全會根據(jù)技術(shù)委員會的建議，決定在IAF文件中提及的ISO/IEC17021應(yīng)理解為是ISO/IEC17021-1:2015，涉及已完成轉(zhuǎn)換和轉(zhuǎn)換過渡期后的合格評定機構(gòu)。然而，在使用IAF文件時，認(rèn)可機構(gòu)ABs和合格評定機構(gòu)將需要考慮到ISO/IEC17021-1中的變化，這些文件可能在轉(zhuǎn)換期結(jié)束后才能修訂，以參考ISO/IEC17021-1。”

Q7: What happens if a Company/CB is not comfortable in this period to give access to its location to the AB audit / assessment team for witnessing?

A7：IAF ID3 allows, in extraordinary events or circumstances like this, postponement of the assessment / audits. Moreover, according to IAF MD17:2015 Witnessing Activities for the Accreditation of Management System Certification Bodies and/or relevant timeline modified accordingly, it is justifiable and understandable in this situation that a CB or its client refuses a witness assessment by the AB. It is important to make audits only when there is agreement of all the parties involved (client, CB and AB). See MD17, 2.2.2 and 2.4.2. It is also possible to perform partial witnessing (2.4.10).

問題7：如果一個公司/認(rèn)證機構(gòu)在此期間不愿意讓認(rèn)可機構(gòu)AB的審核/評審組進(jìn)入其所在地進(jìn)行見證，會發(fā)生什么情況？

回答7：在特殊事件或類似情況下，IAF ID3允許推遲評審/審核。此外，根據(jù)IAF MD17:2015《管理體系認(rèn)證機構(gòu)的認(rèn)可見證活動》和/或相關(guān)的已修改的時間表，在這種情況下，一個認(rèn)證機構(gòu)CB或者他的客戶拒絕認(rèn)可機構(gòu)AB的見證評審是合理和可以理解的。只有在所有相關(guān)方(客戶、CB和AB)同意的情況下，安排審核才是重要的。參見MD17文件的2.2.2和2.4.2條款。也可以進(jìn)行部分見證(參見2.4.10條款)。

Q6: Is the limit imposed by ISO/IEC 27006 (maximum 30% of remote audit) still valid?

A6：ISO/IEC 27006 was published in 2015, while IAF MD4 was published in 2018 (Issue 2, Issued 04 July 2018, application from 04 July 2019). So, considering the specific circumstances, for ISO/IEC 27006 the relevant rules of IAF MD4 also are applicable. This means that is possible to adopt to ISO/IEC 27006 the MD4 approach, that is to exceed 30% “off-site” and allow a 100% off-site, during this COVID-19 period.

問題6: ISO/IEC27006(遠(yuǎn)程審核的時間占比最大不超過30%)規(guī)定的限制仍然有效嗎？

回答6：ISO/IEC 27006于2015年發(fā)布，而IAF MD4于2018年發(fā)布(第2版，2018年7月4日發(fā)布，2023年7月4日開始生效)。因此，考慮到具體情況，對于ISO/IEC27006，IAF MD4的相關(guān)規(guī)則也適用。這意味著MD4中的方法可以在ISO/IEC27006的審核中應(yīng)用，即在COVID-19（新冠疫情）期間超過30%的“非現(xiàn)場”，并允許100%的非現(xiàn)場。

問題5: 是否有可能以遠(yuǎn)程的方式實施一次完整的認(rèn)證審核？

回答5：是的，理論上這是可能的，如果對于特定的認(rèn)證制度，所有的要求都可以被遠(yuǎn)程評審，包括對活動的觀察。然而，對于特定的認(rèn)證制度，這種情況可能會有所不同。

Q2: Is it permissible to use remote assessments and audits to maintain the validity of accredited certifications during the COVID-19 crisis? 

A2：Yes. The IAF Statement on COVID-19 referenced the use of remote assessments and the mandatory document to be used by ABs and CBs, IAF MD4:2018 IAF Mandatory document for the Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Auditing and Assessment Purposes. In addition, there is also informative document on principles for remote assessments – IAF ID12:2015 Principles on Remote Assessment that can be used in this instance.  It is necessary to bear in mind however, that regulatory bodies, scheme owners and purchasers may have specific requirements that may need to be adhered to, and which may take precedence. IAF ID3 may also assist readers.

問題2：在新冠肺炎疫情危機期間，是否允許使用遠(yuǎn)程評審和審核來維護認(rèn)證的有效性？

回答2：是的。IAF關(guān)于新冠肺炎疫情的聲明中提到了遠(yuǎn)程評審的使用，以及ABs和CBs使用的強制性文件，IAF MD4:2018， IAF的強制性文件“信息和通信技術(shù)在審核和評審中的應(yīng)用”。此外，還有關(guān)于遠(yuǎn)程評審原則的資料性文件—IAF ID12:2015,該文件中所規(guī)定的遠(yuǎn)程審核原則可在此時期使用。然而需注意是監(jiān)管機構(gòu)、方案所有者和購買者可能有其他首先需要遵守的具體要求。IAF ID3也可以幫助其他適用的用戶。
