Accreditation Advisory Committee

The SAAS Accreditation Advisory 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. This Advisory Committee consists of technical experts, stakeholders 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.
