New Accreditation Programme for Auditing Organisations

The Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) has launched a new accreditation programme for auditing organizations (AOs) on 15 September 2017. Application of accreditation of auditing organizations is now open and can be done through the SAC accreditation portal, SACiNet. To raise the quality of Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) audits in the WSH management system for the industry, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has collaborated with SAC to establish a new regulatory regime to be established for WSH auditing organizations (WSHAOs). Under the new regime, the WSHAOs have to be accredited by SAC to be registered with MOM for performing WSH audit services. The SAC accreditation programme for auditing organizations was developed with close collaboration with MOM and industry stakeholders. The accreditation criteria will be based on SAC CT 17 – Criteria for Accreditation of Auditing Organisations.

(Right) Representatives from SAC and MOM were present to address queries from the WSHAOs about the new accreditation programme. SAC CT 17 is adapted from ISO/IEC 17021-1: 2015 – Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems – Part 1: Requirements. It also defines the requirements for the conduct of audits by competent auditors to be performed professionally. The mandatory WSH management system audits stipulated by Workplace Safety and Health Act and its regulations are incorporated in Appendix 1 of SAC CT 17.

Accreditation provides formal recognition of the integrity and competence of auditing organizations. SAC-accredited auditing organizations will undergo vigorous assessments to ensure conformance to relevant standards and requirements. In today’s competitive business environment, companies seek transparent and credible audit services. With this new SAC accreditation programme, customers will have greater confidence in the quality of audits that auditing organizations provide, building trust between the auditing or gains

action and their customer. This is especially crucial as customers are becoming more selective and seek reassurance on the auditing services that they engaged can fulfill their expectations and conform to regulatory requirements.

• With effect from 1 April 2018, assessment for applicant laboratories will be based on ISO/IEC 17025: 2017.
• With effect from 1 April 2019, all assessments for existing accredited laboratories shall be based on ISO/IEC 17025: 2017.
• SAC will issue a new Certificate of Accreditation to the laboratory upon successful transition.
• Laboratories who are not accredited to ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 by 29 November 2020 will not be allowed to issue accredited reports and certificates, and will be suspended by SAC.​
