Exemplar Global operates under ISO 17024 and broadly applies the principles in practice as defined in the standard.
Whilst we operate within the requirements of ISO17024, we have now applied for and are currently in the process of gaining accreditation for ISO17024 Conformity assessment – General requirements for bodies operating.
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.
