How can a very small inspection body, e.g. a one-man inspection body, fulfil the requirement for authorising inspectors and other personnel involved in inspection activities?
STANDARD: ISO/IEC 17020 · CLAUSE: 6.1.5 · TOPIC: Authorising inspectors and other personnel involved in inspection activities
Answer:
This is not a problem limited to small inspection bodies. No matter how many employees, the first person has to be self-authorized or authorized by somebody who is not authorized himself/herself.
