Requirements for Certification / V13 2023-12-04

6.9.5 The GWO Audit Report template must be used as the audit report. It can be downloaded from http://www.globalwindsafety.org/certificationbodies/certification-body-criteria and is available on GWO’s WINDA platform 6.9.6 When a new certificate is issued, the audit report must go through a technical review by the certification body prior to being uploaded to WINDA. This audit report must include name of the technical reviewer and the date the technical review was undertaken

6.9.7 The certificate shall be uploaded to the corresponding audit record on WINDA as well as a copy of the audit report in English (if not the language of the original)

6.9.8 Following upload to WINDA, GWO shall conduct a quality check in order to ensure the audit report includes all applicable requirements in terms of scope, content, correct man-day allocation or any other item of reference. At this point the audit report will be marked as ‘pending’. If the quality check reveals errors or non-conformities made by the certification body, the certification body will be alerted via WINDA and asked to address the query. In specific cases, GWO may require the certification body to re-conduct an audit if significant deviation from the applicable requirements is observed 6.9.9 If GWO decides to revoke the approval for a training provider following the results of an investigation, it is the certification body’s responsibility to remove the certificate. The final decision can be appealed by further submission to the GWO Audit and Compliance Committee

6.9.10 Specific requirements for multi-site certification are detailed in sub-section 7.8

7. MULTI-SITE CERTIFICATION This section details the additional requirements for multi-site certification, over and above those in Sections 5 and 6 (unless it has specifically been defined as not applicable for a multi-site certification). This section defines the scope and frequency of required audits (internal and external) for training providers which hold a multi-site certificate. The required competency of internal auditors is also detailed

As far as possible, this language replicates “IAF Mandatory Document for the Audit and Certification of a Management System Operated by a Multi-Site Organization Issue 2 (IAF MD 1:2018)”

For definitions used in this section including those specific for multi-site certification, please refer to Section 2 (Terms and Definitions)
