    4. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE
    CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT BODY

    During the accreditation assessments according to EN ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 + ISO/TS


    22003:2013 for certification against ISO 22000:2018, a specific evaluation is required to
    establish the compliance with the specific requirements listed hereafter ; the relevant
    information will be included in the assessment report.

    Specific requirement for the personnel involved in the certification scheme:

    Accreditation for one or more Categories (see Annex A) confirms that the certification body
    has demonstrated competence to deliver certification for FSMS (e.g. ISO22000) in those
    Categories.
    For this reason, before granting accreditation for a specific Category, the accreditation body
    shall assess that:
    a) The certification body has competent personnel to perform the contract review and
    select the correct Category
    b) The certification body has defined Sectors inside each Category. These Sectors shall
    include, as a minimum, those included in Table A.1 in Annex A in ISO/TS 22003.
    c) The certification body has established technical criteria to describe the competence for
    auditors in each Sector (see Annex A Table A.1)
    d) The certification body has competent auditors in at least one Sector of the Category
    e) The certification body has established a process giving assurance that accredited
    certification will be offered only in Sectors where the certification body has competent
    auditors.
    f) The certification body keeps an updated list of the Sectors in which it has competent
    auditors. This list shall be available to the accreditation body on demand.

    BELAC 2-405-FSMS Rev 2-2020 - 6/8


    5. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO BELAC

    The following table includes the specific requirements of IAF MD16:2015 not explicitly
    covered by the general BELAC provisions for the accreditation of management systems
    certification bodies.

    EN ISO 17011:2017 IAF MD 16 Specific requirements


    and/or ref to BELAC :2015
    documents
    Clause 7.4: Witnessing of audits:
    Preparation for
    assessment The activities in Annex A in ISO/TS
    IAF MD 16: 22003:2013 may be condensed in the following
    BELAC 3-11 MD 7.5.6.1 clusters1:
    MD 7.5.6.2 1. Farming (A+B)
    MD 7.5.6.3 2. Food and Feed Processing (C+D)
    MD 7.5.6.4 3. Retail, Transport and Storage (F,G)
    MD 7.5.6.6 4. Catering (E)
    MD 7.5.6.7 5. (Bio) Chemicals (K)
    MD 7.5.6.11 6. Auxiliary Services (H+I+J)

    BELAC shall not grant accreditation for a given


    category without at least one witnessing visit
    performed in the cluster. This is to say that if a
    certification body asks, for example, for
    accreditation for categories B and D, the
    accreditation body has to perform two
    witnessing visits. If the certification body asks
    for accreditation for C and D, one witnessing
    visit may be enough.
    These criteria are also applicable to extension of
    scopes. For extensions inside a cluster,
    witnessing is not mandatory. Witnessing is
    mandatory for extensions to categories in a new
    cluster.
    These requirements are minimum requirements
    (except for the cases described below). BELAC
    has to assess every individual case and decide if
    more witnessing is needed in specific situations.
    BELAC has to witness at least one audit in
    cluster 2 (if covered by the accredited scope of
    the certification body) as part of each
    surveillance or re-assessment and at least one
    audit in each of the other clusters during the
    accreditation cycle.
    A single witness audit could encompass different
    categories if the activities of the witnessed
    company and of the certification body justify it.

    BELAC 2-405-FSMS Rev 2-2020 - 7/8


    For the initial accreditation and for the re-
    assessment of the certification body in one or
    more categories, a witness of an initial
    certification audit, including stage 1, is highly
    recommended. At least one of the witness audits
    per accreditation cycle should include a stage 1
    audit.

    Accreditation granted to the certification body in


    other food safety standards for categories in the
    same cluster should be taken into account when
    deciding which witness assessments need to be
    performed. In these cases BELAC may use
    witnessing performed in one of such schemes to
    substitute some, but not the majority, of the
    witness assessment activity. These cases shall be
    fully documented and justified by BELAC.

    6. Presentation of the accreditation schedule:

    Accreditation assessments shall be against ISO/IEC 17021-1 including the requirements of


    ISO/TS 22003.

    The accreditation document scope shall explicitly state that the accreditation is against ISO/IEC
    17021-1:2015 and ISO/TS 22003:2013. Accreditation bodies shall not grant accreditation to
    certify FSMS with any other standard.

    The Scope of accreditation shall be expressed according to one or more of the categories
    detailed in Annex A Table A.1 of ISO/TS 22003.

    The certification body must be able to demonstrate that it has at least one active application in
    the Category for which it is seeking accreditation. The certification body has established the
    procedure to handle applications for new sectors included in a category.
