1 Scope
This document:
— defines the rules applicable for certification of the implementation of systems engineering,
software engineering and service delivery processes complying with the requirements
given in ISO/IEC 29110‑4-m, Profile specifications; and
— provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification
of their suppliers has been granted.
Certification of the implementation of systems and software engineering processes
(named “certification” in this document) is a third-party conformity assessment activity
(see ISO/IEC 17000:2004, 5.5). Bodies performing this activity are therefore third-party conformity assessment
bodies (named “ certification body /bodies” in this document).
NOTE This document is primarily intended to be used as a criteria document for the accreditation
or peer assessment of certification bodies which seek to be recognized as being competent to certify that a Very Small Entity
(VSE) complies with ISO/IEC 29110‑4-m, Profile Specifications. Some of its requirements could also be found useful
by any other parties involved in the conformity assessment of such certification bodies .
Systems and software engineering processes certification does not attest the fitness
