The Social Responsibility Auditor certification program has been developed by Exemplar Global to provide international recognition for auditors who conduct social responsibility audits based on the ISO 26000:2010 standard.
ISO 26000:2010 provides guidance to all types of organizations, regardless of their size or location, on:
ISO 26000:2010 is intended to assist organizations in contributing to sustainable development. It is intended to encourage them to go beyond legal compliance, recognizing that compliance with law is a fundamental duty of any organization and an essential part of their social responsibility. It is intended to promote common understanding in the field of social responsibility, and to complement other instruments and initiatives for social responsibility, not to replace them.
Through extensive examination of your knowledge and personal attributes, Exemplar Global’s Social Responsibility Auditor certification program can give you proof of your competence to effectively audit an ISO 26000-based social responsibility program and give you assurance that your audits will be accepted globally.
Built in liaison with industry representatives in accordance with ISO 19011:2018, Exemplar Global’s Social Responsibility Auditor certification program provides individuals with proof of their competence to effectively social responsibility programs.

Exemplar Global recognizes training completed with training providers who held/hold certification with us under our current name or previous trading names (RABQSA, QSA, RAB) for 10 years from the date the training was completed for our management system schemes, such as QMS, EMS, OHS, etc. Some of our schemes require that the training certificate to have been issued within the last three years. Please check the specific certification requirements for the scheme you wish to apply for. If your training was completed outside of the training requirement time, you will need to complete a relevant knowledge examination, if available.
If a knowledge examination is not available, you may substitute the knowledge exam with an audit log showing relevant audit experience. If you choose this method, we require that you show evidence of 10 audit days reflecting the specific scheme (e.g, QMS, EMS, OHS, etc.) and grade (i.e., auditor or lead auditor) you wish to apply for. Audits need to have been conducted within the past three years.
There are current agreements with IRCA/CQI, PECB, and the CCAA. Applicants must be able to demonstrate holding a current certification with one of the above mentioned bodies in order to qualify.
