Conformity assessment — Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems — Part 9: Competence requirements for auditing and certification of anti-bribery management systems (ISO/IEC TS 17021-9:2016). This Technical Specification supplements ISO/IEC 17021‑1 by defining competence criteria and guidance for personnel involved in certification of anti‑bribery management systems (ABMS).
Abstract
ISO/IEC TS 17021-9:2016 provides specific competence requirements for auditors, technical experts and other personnel engaged in the audit and certification process for anti‑bribery management systems. It is intended to be used alongside ISO/IEC 17021‑1 to ensure certification bodies have appropriately qualified personnel to assess ABMS implementations.

Scope
Specifies additional competence requirements and guidance for personnel of certification bodies when auditing and certifying anti‑bribery management systems (ABMS). It complements the generic requirements of ISO/IEC 17021‑1 by addressing ABMS‑specific knowledge, skills and experience needed for audit teams, technical experts and those making certification decisions. The TS is focused on competence aspects rather than normative system requirements for organizations implementing ABMS.
Key topics and requirements
- Competence criteria for auditors and technical experts engaged in ABMS audits (knowledge of bribery risks, legal/regulatory context, due diligence and control measures).
- Requirements for audit team composition, including skills, experience and training specific to anti‑bribery topics.
- Guidance on certification decision‑maker competence for ABMS certification.
- How the ABMS competence requirements supplement the generic competence and impartiality requirements in ISO/IEC 17021‑1.
- Expectations for continual competence maintenance (training, audit experience, subject‑matter updates) for personnel involved in ABMS certification.
Typical use and users
Used by certification bodies and their auditors when implementing or demonstrating competence processes for certifying anti‑bribery management systems. Also useful to accreditation bodies that assess certification bodies, organizations seeking ABMS certification, and consultants who prepare organizations for ABMS audits. It is applied together with ISO/IEC 17021‑1 and the ABMS normative requirements (e.g., ISO 37001).
Related standards
Directly related to ISO/IEC 17021‑1 (general requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems) and to ABMS normative standards such as ISO 37001 (Anti‑bribery management systems).
