Accreditation Committee
The SAAS Accreditation Committee was established
to advise on and assist in developing strategy and procedures
for sustaining and strengthening oversight of SAAS-accredited
Certification Bodies. The committee reviews current procedures
on oversight and recommends best practices for SAAS to exercise
oversight of accredited certification bodies to ensure consistent,
high quality audits by qualified auditors. The Accreditation
Committee consists of technical experts and representatives
of the bodies that own the Standards to which SAAS provides
accreditation services. The Committee has access to the necessary
expertise for advising SAAS on accreditation matters. The
Committee membership includes representatives from civil society
and the business sectors and members participate on a volunteer
basis for a three-year period. The committee members nominate
and elect a chair and members may represent themselves or
the organization for which they work.
