ICT may be used under IAF MD 4 only for management interviews and document review within the on-site audit and for head office functions where suitable. Transfers between CBs follow IAF MD 2. When the Foundation orders an upgrade, the CB follows its instructions, briefs staff, recalculates and tells clients the duration and reissues certificates after closure of findings. A client holding valid accredited or SSCI-recognised social certification of equivalent scope may transition through a stage 2 audit (stage 1 optional) of at least two thirds of initial duration and one day, with full interview and file numbers, giving a three-year certificate.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
