Request for Guidance
Good morning Dejan,
I trust this mail finds you well.
I would really appreciate advice as to whom I may contact in order to become a Certified “Accreditation” Auditor.
I have Certified on both ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 as a Lead Auditor, and wish to move to the next Level where my ROLE Changes from Internal Auditor and I Implementer to the Role of Certification Auditor for Companies that had their ISMS Implemented by another Party.
These are the Standards for which I wish to become a Certification Auditor
- ISO 27001 Information Security Management System
- ISO 9001 Quality Management System
- ISO 45001 (14001) Occupation Health and System Management System
- ISO 14001 Environmental Management System
- ISO 22301 BCMS Business Continuity Management
- ISO 20000 Service Management System
I have purchased these Standards in preparation for becoming a Certification Auditor
- ISO 17021-3 Competency requirements for Auditing and Certification of Quality Management Systems
- ISO 19001 Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems
I look forward to your most valued response.
Sincere regards

Please note that only organizations denominated “certification bodies” can issue ISO certifications for other organizations. Persons cannot be certified as “certification auditors”, they only can work for certification bodies as certification auditors.
Considering that, to work as a certification auditor, you should contact a certification body that would have an available position and is and be willing to hire you.
Here is a list of certification bodies in South Africa:
