Answer:

ISO 27018 is not a certifiable standard. It is a code of practice that can be used to support certifiable management systems, like ISO 27001 for information security management systems.

So, a cloud service customer could be certified against ISO 27001 and include in his/her Statement of Aplicability (SOA) controls with ISO 27018 recomendations, but this decision is up to him/her, and cannot be enforced.
