Requirements for Certification / V13 2023-12-04
5.2.3 A fully qualified and active ISO 45001 lead auditor or similar must cover the audit of a training session
5.2.4 Auditors who wish to perform GWO audits must:
a. successfully complete the GWO Auditor Qualification Training (AQT), which is designed as an entry qualification course for new auditors
b. complete a three-step qualification process, which requires that:
b.i the auditor has attended as an observer a Stage 1 audit conducted by a GWO qualified auditor. As an alternative, the auditor shall be supervised by a GWO qualified auditor during the first Stage 1 audit which is led by the auditor in training b.ii the auditor in training has either observed or participated (as a team member) in a Stage 2 audit led by a GWO qualified auditor. This can be either initial certification, surveillance, or extension of scope b.iii the auditor in training has led a Stage 2 audit under the supervision by a GWO qualified auditor. This can be either initial certification, surveillance or extension of scope, and must be a physical audit To document this, the certification body must use the GWO Qualification for New Auditor (template included as Annex 1) to register the auditor profile in WINDA. The auditor profile will not be accepted unless the GWO Qualification for New Auditor form is completed with details of the audits
Note
Compliance with step b.i is required before an auditor can conduct a Stage 1 audit
Auditors can conduct Stage 2 audits once steps b.ii and b.iii have been completed
The auditor must have an Auditor Profile on WINDA, created by the certification body, where qualifications and details are recorded. They will have unique WINDA ID
For new certification bodies (without GWO qualified auditors), a qualification process conducted via an audit (under the supervision of a GWO Auditor Qualification Training (AQT) instructor) is recommended. To pursue this option, please contact the GWO Secretariat via info@globalwindorganisation.org.
5.2.5 The following requirements must be observed in order to maintain the GWO auditor qualification:
a. complete the GWO Auditor Development Training (ADT) within a 12-month interval from completion of the GWO Auditor Qualification Training (AQT)
b. participate in at least two GWO audits within a 12-month interval (either leading the audit, being an audit team member or supervising an audit led by an auditor in training)
Auditor Development Training can be attended up to 2 months prior to expiry and will maintain the original certification date
