Description of changes
Version changed to 10
•
5.2.2, 5.2.3: Removed OSHAS 18001
•
• 7.2.2 becomes new 6.2.2: New requirements to achieve qualification as auditor, no material change in content.
• Auditors who wish to perform GWO audits must:
• Successfully complete the GWO Auditor Qualification Training (AQT), which is designed as an entry qualification course for new auditors.
• Complete a 3-step qualification process, which requires that: a.
The auditor has attended as an observer a Stage 2 audit conducted by a GWO- qualified auditor.
b. The auditor has participated as a team member in a full audit (Stage 1, Stage 2) led by a qualified GWO auditor.
c. The auditor has led a full audit (Stage 1, Stage 2) under the supervision of a GWO- qualified auditor.
To document this, the Certification Body must use the template included in Annex 1 and send it to the GWO Secretariat via info@globalwindorganisation.org. As an alternative, for new certification bodies (without GWO-qualified auditors), the three-step qualification process can be achieved via joining an audit with a GWO Auditor Qualification Training (AQT) instructor. To pursue this option, please contact the GWO Secretariat via info@globalwindorganisation.org.
• 6.2.5 New requirements to maintain the GWO auditor qualification:
• Complete the GWO Auditor Development Training (ADT) within a 12-month interval since completion of the GWO Auditor Qualification Training (AQT). This requirement becomes effective April 1st. • Participate in at least 2 GWO audits within a 12-month interval (either leading the audit, being an audit team member, or supervising an audit led by a new auditor).
• 6.2 Multisite offers have been replaced by multi-settings offers. In addition, changes in:
