First, you need to get certificates that you are lead auditors for certain standards. Then you need to prepare all necessary documentation stated in standard ISO 17021-1 Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies providing auditing and certification of management systems, Part 1: Requirements. When you prepare it, you need to pass the accreditation audit conducted by some Competent authority or National accreditation body.
