ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information security, cybersecurity and privacy - Information security management system - Requirements was released in October 2022. DeuZert will soon be able to certify according to this standard.

DIN ISO 29994:2022-07 Education and learning services - Requirements for distance learning was published on 24/06/22. We certify that.

Since April 28, 2022, DeuZert is accredited by DAkkS for DIN EN ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certifications.

December 2021. DeuZert is part of a project team that won tender “Accompagnement des processus de certification ISO dans l'éducation et la formation pour le secteur public de Tunesia” of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Viva 2022!

 In May 2021, the new standard ISO 29995:2021 Education and learning services - Vacabulary was published.

Since February 03, 2021, DeuZert is accredited by DAkkS for ISO 21001:2018 certifications. We are pleased to be able to further expand the portfolio of certifications services for our education customers.

On January 22, 2021, ISO 21001:2018 was published as DIN ISO 21001:2021-02 in German language. In parallel, DIN ISO 29990:2010 was withdrawn.

On September 8th, 2020, DeuZert® submitted the application for accreditation for ISO 21001: 2018 to the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS).

20 April 2020: Against the background of COVID-19, we receive an increasing number of enquiries as to the extent to which pending audits can be postponed. As an accredited certification body, DeuZert shall basically comply with the requirements of the Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS) for handling customer audits under the special conditions of COVID-19. https://www.dakks.de/en

DeuZert is advised to apply the IAF document IAF ID3:2011 for the management of extraordinary events or circumstances. Under consideration of the procedure described below, postponement of upcoming 1st surveillance audits up to max. 6 months, of upcoming other surveillance audits up to the end of 2020 and of upcoming recertification audits also up to max. 6 months are possible. However, the existing auditor capacities at DeuZert must be taken into account.

In any case, a written application for audit postponement with a comprehensible justification must be submitted to DeuZert BEFORE the regular deadline for the performance of the respective audit.
The following questions should be answered:

  • When will the organization be able to function normally?
  • When will the organization be able to ship products or perform the service defined within the current scope of certification?
  • Will the organization need to use alternative manufacturing and/or distribution sites? If so, are these currently covered under the current certification or will they need to be evaluated?
  • Does existing inventory still meet customer specifications or will the certified organization contact its customers regarding possible concessions?
  • If the certified organization is certified to a management system standard that requires a disaster recovery plan or emergency response plan, has the certified organization implemented the plan and was it effective?
  • Will some of the processes and/or services performed or products shipped be subcontracted to other organizations? If so, how will the other organizations’ activities be controlled by the certified organization?
  • To what extent has operation of the management system been affected?
  • Has the Certified organization conducted an impact assessment?
  • Identification of alternative sampling sites, as appropriate.

In addition, relevant documentation on the effective management system must be submitted. These are at least a documented, current management review, the status of the implementation of the internal audit program with exemplary reports of internal audits carried out, the status of the processing of necessary corrective actions on the management system with exemplary reports and other documents/ proof of inspections carried out or similar (by the company itself or by third parties).

DeuZert decides on the further procedure on this basis. In the case of an audit postponement, the customer will receive a corresponding written confirmation that the certification will be maintained.

17 April 2020: Against the background of COVID-19, we receive an increasing number of enquiries as to whether upcoming audits could not be carried out (completely) remotely (using modern telecommunication systems, such as video conferences etc.). As an accredited certification body, DeuZert shall basically comply with the requirements of the Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS) for handling customer audits under the special conditions of COVID-19. https://www.dakks.de/en

Complete remote audits using modern telecommunication facilities, such as video conferences etc., are not possible without on-site audits. An on-site audit is always necessary. The maximum proportion of remote audit is 50% for surveillance audits and 70% for recertification audits if the DeuZert auditors have previously carried out a risk/opportunity assessment with the customer and concluded that there is no significant loss of knowledge. The decision (with reasons) must be documented at DeuZert.

We will plan and carry out on-site audits together with our customers very carefully, taking into account the recommendations of the German Robert Koch Institute. https://www.rki.de/EN/Home/homepage_node At present, utmost care is required here - our auditors are required to speak to only one person at a time and to keep a distance of 2 meters.
